A federal judge sentenced a Texas woman to 30 years in prison for her role in the brutal slaying of Army Spc. Vanessa Guillén, bringing closure to a case that exposed the military’s pervasive mishandling of sex crimes and inspired sweeping reforms.
Guillén, who specialized in small arms repair, was stationed at Fort Cavazos in Texas, formerly known at Fort Hood, where Army investigators later uncovered a toxic culture where sexual harassment was permissible. Guillén experienced harassment from a superior but confided in her family that she was afraid to surface the issue with her chain of command, her family has said.
After Robinson killed Guillén, witnesses described seeing him struggle with a plastic box as he shoved it into his car and drove away. Aguilar, according to court documents detailing her interview with authorities, said Robinson picked her up and took her to a site near the Leon River in Belton. The box containing Guillén’s body was already there, she said.
Robinson slipped past the unarmed guard assigned to monitor him and fled the installation, shooting himself as police moved in to arrest him. It remains unclear how he obtained a firearm.
