Man sentenced to 10 years in prison in Milam County
MILAM COUNTY, Texas (KBTX) -A Cameron man will spend 10 years in a TDCJ facility.
37-year-old Kevin Martin was given the maximum sentence for the 3rd Degree Felony, Continuous Violence Against the Family.
This case started when one of the children was found in the next-door neighbor’s home, so hungry she was eating cat food. An investigation was immediately launched into the treatment of the children, all girls aged 9 or under. The investigation showed that the girls were routinely underfed as well as physically and psychologically abused. Some of the abuse included: duct-taping the girls to their bed at night, locking the girls in a shed for extended periods of time, forcing the girls to physically fight each other for sport, encouraging a dog to bite the girls, and feeding the girls “slop” that was made in a blender.
The Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) immediately removed the children from the home. Officials say the children are now placed in a safe, stable home.
His wife, and co-defendant, Toni Martin, was previously sentenced to the maximum sentence on January 26, 2023, for the same charges in this matter.
