A former FBI agent and Alabama state trooper convicted of child sexual assault was sentenced to life in prison Friday.
Christopher Bauer, 45, was sentenced in Alabama Circuit Court after a conviction in June on charges of first-degree sodomy and sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years of age.
"It is always extremely disappointing when someone who is supposed to enforce and uphold the law commits a crime against the people they have sworn to protect," Mongomery District Attorney Daryl Bailey said in a news release. "He is a bad apple – a depraved monster who abused his power to irreparably harm a vulnerable, innocent child."
