The lawsuit alleges the man sexually assaulted his 13-year-old neighbor, impregnated her and later pressured her into an unwanted marriage.
SAN ANTONIO, TX — A woman is suing a 58-year-old San Antonio man for more than $1 million, alleging he sexually assaulted her when she was 13, impregnated her by the time she was 14 and later pressured her into a marriage she says she did not want.
The civil case centers on allegations of abuse that the woman says began when she was a child and the defendant was her neighbor. The lawsuit seeks financial damages for the harm she says resulted from the alleged sexual abuse and the relationship that followed. The claims are allegations in a civil proceeding and have not been established as fact by a court.
According to reports describing the lawsuit, the woman alleges the man began sexually assaulting her when she was 13. She further alleges that she became pregnant before or around the time she turned 14. Because the allegations involve sexual abuse of a minor, the woman’s identity is not being published here.
The lawsuit also alleges that the man later pressured the woman into marrying him. She contends that the marriage was not something she freely wanted and describes it as part of the continuing control she says followed the alleged abuse. Available reports did not provide enough verified information to establish the date of the marriage or the precise circumstances surrounding it.
The woman is seeking more than $1 million in damages. Public summaries of the case reviewed Tuesday did not provide a detailed breakdown of the damages requested or establish what amount, if any, a court could ultimately award. A request for damages in a lawsuit is a plaintiff’s demand and does not amount to a court finding against a defendant.
The reports reviewed also did not provide enough independently confirmed information about any related criminal case, including whether the allegations led to criminal charges or a conviction. Those details should not be inferred from the filing of the civil lawsuit. A civil claim and a criminal prosecution involve different proceedings and standards of proof.
The defendant’s response to the allegations was not available in the material reviewed. No verified statement from an attorney representing him was available for inclusion. Until the allegations are resolved through the court process or supported by additional records, they remain claims made by the woman in her lawsuit.
The civil case now places the decades-old allegations before the courts as the woman seeks damages from the man she accuses of abusing her as a child and later coercing her into marriage. Further details, including the defendant’s formal response and the next court proceedings, had not been independently confirmed as of Tuesday.
