HIXSON, Tenn. (WDEF) —  A Hixson man has been convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child.

Seth Cordell

43 year old Seth Austin Cordell was indicted more than a year ago on charges of sexual abuse, statutory rape and incest.

Cordell is set to be sentenced later this spring.

He’s also received additional charges when a judge listened to phone recordings of him in jail threatening one of the prosecutors.

Cordell apologized for the threats, saying he was just blowing off steam.

The Judge revoked his bond, anyway.
