(Mansfield, TX) — A Tarrant County man is on his way to prison for nine-years for sexually abusing two girls.

A jury convicted and sentenced 38-year-old Benjamin Cole on two counts of indecency with a child by sexual contact.  Prosecutors say Cole met one of the girls at Heritage Baptist Church in Mansfield when she was ten-years-old.

The jury sentenced Cole to four-and-a-half years for each count to be served consecutively.
