The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office announced two guilty pleas in unrelated child sex assault cases. Both men entered their guilty pleas in 273rd District Judge Jim Payne’s court on Thursday. James Eddy Risinger pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child and will serve 30 years, District Attorney Karren Price said. Price said Risinger’s victim was between 7 and 10 years old. Risinger will not be eligible for parole until his mid- to late-90s.
