A former Harris County Sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced to prison for 27 years in a case involving child pornography that a veteran federal judge called “one of the most disagreeable cases” of his career.
Andrew C. Sustaita Jr., 31, a former patrol officer, stood handcuffed in an orange jail uniform and rubber shoes, as U.S. District Judge Sim Lake handed down the lengthy sentence. The judge added a lifetime of supervised release as a registered sex offender, and ordered Sustaita to have no contact with children without the express permission of a probation officer.
The judge said images found on Sustaita’s electronic devices of babies and children being sexually abused were “some of most horrific” he’d seen. Lake was particularly troubled that the crime involved multiple lewd videos of a young girl who was an invited guest for a sleepover in 2015 at Sustaita’s home.
The former Harris County Sheriff's deputy was also accused of performing a sexual act with a dog on camera.
