Ex-FBI Agent Sentenced to Life for Child Sexual Assault

Christopher Bauer, also a former Alabama state trooper, convicted of abusing an 11-year-old girl and faces similar charges in Louisiana.

Christopher Bauer was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of first-degree sodomy and sexual abuse of a child under 12.
Bauer used a forged letter to join the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency despite being dismissed from the FBI over prior sexual assault allegations.
The victim testified Bauer had been abusing her since she was 5 years old, leading to his arrest in 2021.
Defense attorneys argued for leniency citing Bauer's abusive childhood, but the judge upheld the life sentence.
Bauer faces additional child sex abuse charges in Louisiana, where he is also wanted for similar crimes.
