SUMMARY: Cecily Aguilar, the woman who helped dispose of the body of Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. Aguilar pleaded guilty to accessory to murder and making false statements. Army Specialist Aaron Robinson, the suspect in Guillen’s murder, told Aguilar about the crime, and she helped destroy Guillen’s body and lied to the police. Robinson later killed himself when confronted by officers. Guillen’s family filed a $35 million lawsuit against the federal government, alleging that she was sexually harassed at Fort Hood. The case led to changes in how sexual harassment is reported in the military.
