COMAL COUNTY, Texas<\/strong> \u2013 A former San Antonio firefighter has been sentenced to four years in prison and probation after a Comal County jury convicted him of multiple counts of sexual assault of a child. <\/p>\n

Joshua Dyba, 33, was sentenced to two years in prison on two counts and given probation on a third count by a jury, a Comal County official confirmed to KSAT. A fourth count against Dyba was waived after the victim did not testify to that specific incident.<\/p>\n

The conditions of Dyba\u2019s probation will be determined at a later hearing, an official said.<\/p>\n

Dyba\u2019s sentences will run consecutively, meaning one after the other.<\/p>\n

He was arrested in late 2024<\/a> after investigators determined he sexually assaulted a girl in late December 2022 and in early January 2023.<\/p>\n

City of San Antonio officials confirmed Tuesday that Dyba resigned from the fire department in early September.<\/p>\n

He was placed on administrative duty following his arrest.<\/p>\n

Dyba had worked for SAFD since 2017.<\/p>\n
