In 2020, Harris was sentenced to 99 years in prison for another aggravated sexual assault case that happened in 2017. The other cases were taken into consideration and dismissed once Harris acknowledge his responsibility in the previous crimes, the DA's office said.
“This defendant terrorized half a dozen women and left many others in fear during the 12 months he preyed on women in the Medical Center. Now that he has finally taken responsibility for his crimes, I hope these victims all find comfort in knowing that he will never be able to harm them nor will they have to come to court and face him again,” said Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales.
