A Brazos County grand jury has indicted a College Station man for sexual assault of a 14 year old.

The indictment, which was filed Monday (April 21), came ten years and one month after the assault happened.

The College Station police arrest report says after the March 2015 assault, DNA tests were done. Those tests were completed in March 2018, but “for an unknown reason the case was never reopened” until March 2025 when DNA from an unrelated investigation matched the sexual assault.

That led to the new charge against 35 year old Kenton Lister, who has been in the Brazos County jail since October 2024 awaiting four trials on felony charges.

Lister is waiting trial for evading arrest in August 2023, family violence aggravated assault and continuous violence against family members in January 2024, burglary of a habitation in July 2024, and burglary of a habitation, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and violating a protection order in October 2024.

Lister, who is in jail for the 18th time since January 2008, is held as of April 21 in lieu of bonds totaling $545,000 dollars.
