In January 2022, Ervin pleaded guilty to two charges -- injury to a child and tampering with a corpse, according to court documents. As part of a plea deal, she agreed to testify against boyfriend Travion Thompson.

Now, Thompson, 25, has pleaded guilty to the same charges, injury to a child and tampering with a corpse. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison, according to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

“After three and half years, we were glad to reach a resolution in this case that let the family avoid a trial and ensure that Thompson will be in prison for decades,” prosecutor Lacy Johnson said. “He confessed to putting her body down a storm drain and that really sealed his fate.”

As part of the plea deal, Thompson can't appeal the convictions or the sentence. He must serve at least 20 years before he will be eligible for parole.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The 24-year-old mother of Maliyah Bass learned her fate after pleading guilty to her role in her 2-year-old daughter's death over three years ago.

Sahara Ervin appeared in court Thursday morning to hear her sentence, telling the judge she "wished it was different" and "wished she could have her baby back." She agreed with Judge Morton that what she did was horrendous.

"As a mother myself, I would like to hope that she does actually feel the remorse that she told the judge," Lacy Johnson with the Harris County District Attorney's Office said. "I hope that in the three and a half years that she's had time to sit in jail and reflect."

This ABC13 story was updated shortly after posting back in Jan. 2022 saying that the 20-year sentence mentioned in the original story was erroneous (italics original):

Editor's note: An earlier version of this article erroneously reported that Ervin had been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

It had me confused when I saw the new updates a couple of hours ago, and it's fitting to see that what was originally posted still ended up being reality over two years later.
