A Buda man was indicted earlier this month on several felony charges of continuous sexual assault of a child relating to incidents that ranged over a six-year period.
Steven Lance Banks, 48, of Buda, was indicted in January on one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child, one count of sexual performance by a child and four counts of indecency with a child by sexual contact. Banks was also indicted on two additional counts of sexual assault of a child.
According to arrest warrants, the dates of the offenses ranged from December 2010 to November and December 2016.
According to Banks’ indictment, there were at least two victims under the age of 17 with abuse starting for one of them before the age of 14.
An indictment is not an admission of guilt, but is a formal accusation against an individual suspected of committing a crime.
Banks is being held in the Hays County Jail on 205,000 bond.
