Former Fort Bliss Soldier Pleads Guilty to Child Abuse

EL PASO, Texas – A former soldier stationed at Fort Bliss pleaded guilty to a federal charge of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, announced U.S. Attorney Ashley C. Hoff and FBI Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey R. Downey, El Paso Field Office.

Trevor Dylan Lehew, 28, of Plano, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated sexual abuse of a child. According to court documents, between November 2014 and December 2015, Lehew engaged in the continuing sexual abuse of a six-year-old child at a residence located on Fort Bliss. During this period, Lehew was an active-duty soldier stationed at the military installation. By pleading guilty, Lehew admitted that he knowingly engaged in a sexual act with a child.

The abuse took place between November 2014 and December 2015, during which Lehew was serving as a soldier at Fort Bliss. He has a previous conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child related to two other minor children.

Lehew faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Winters is prosecuting the case.

The FBI investigated the case with assistance from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division. FBI-Louisville and FBI-Seattle, Tacoma Resident Agency also assisted with this case. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006.
