In June, following a six-day trial, a Hays County jury convicted Clifton of sexual assault, sexual performance by a child, attempted aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault.

An indictment against Clifton included charges related to three women who were 17 and 18 years old when he assaulted them, according to the news release.

Evidence presented at the trail showed that Clifton hired “vulnerable teenage girls” while working as manager at the Jack in the Box in Kyle, according to the release. Clifton “gained their trust, and even the trust of some of their families, and provided them alcohol on and off the job – all to perpetrate sexual offenses against them.”

He was arrested on those charges in 2023, according to Hays County court records.

At the trial, evidence was also presented that Clifton had committed domestic violence against two other women during the same timeframe as the sexual assaults.

He had previously been convicted for assault, as well as aggravated robbery, according to the news release. During the aggravated robbery, he shot a man; after being found guilty of that charge in 2009, he was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
