Robinson committed suicide in the aftermath of the murder when Guill\u00e9n&#8217;s\u00a0remains were found. The maximum sentence means that Aguilar\u00a0will spend 30 years in prison for her role in the murder. This murder was described as gruesome, and helped began a movement focusing on sexual harassment reporting within the military.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A Texas woman whose boyfriend shot and killed himself while police pursued him following Army soldier Vanessa Guill\u00e9n&#8217;s disappearance from a military base was sentenced Monday to 30 years in prison for her role in the gruesome murder that prompted a movement in how sexual harassment is reported in the military.<\/p>\n<p>Cecily Aguilar was the only suspect arrested for the death of Guill\u00e9n, who was killed at Fort Cavazos, formerly known as Fort Hood, near Killeen, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Aguilar was 24 years old when she pleaded guilty in November to one count of accessory to murder after the fact and three counts of making a false statement. The sentence came after hours of testimony from attorneys, experts and Guill\u00e9n&#8217;s family.<\/p>\n<p>It was the maximum punishment Aguilar could receive, Jaime Esparza, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas, said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our hope is that today&#8217;s sentence brings a sense of relief and justice to the Guill\u00e9n family, who have endured such pain throughout these past few years,&#8221; Esparza said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You received Justice today,&#8221; Guill\u00e9n&#8217;s sister, Mayra, wrote on X, formerly Twitter. &#8220;Rest easy sister. Today was such a hard day, I learned so many details regarding your death after the fact of it&#8217;s been 3 YEARS.
