Sergeant Major Convicted for Abuse
Description
A Fort Hood sergeant major has been convicted of raping and sexually abusing two young children, facing 25 years in prison, dishonorable discharge, and forfeiture of all pay. The abuse began in 2019 with a victim under 16, followed a year later by another under 12. After the victims’ mother reported them to police in 2020, Army CID joined the investigation, uncovering damning digital evidence on Rivera’s phone. The case, built on victim testimony and forensic data, highlights a powerful collaboration between local police and military investigators. Officials praised the system’s ability to hold even high-ranking personnel accountable, while the victims’ courage in speaking out brought justice after a long wait. Rivera will serve at Fort Leavenworth and must register as a sex offender upon release.
