I am just so angry!
I want EVERY parent of teens and young adults to know that their children are not safe in this world and especially in the state of Texas.
On January 23, 2023, the State of Texas Attorney General's office took a plea deal from two men who pled guilty to sex trafficking three minors and a judge accepted it. One of the victims was sex trafficked for so long that she was adult when finally rescued.
In front of news media and the sobbing parents of a victim describing the damage done to their beloved daughter the judge ruled to let the men out of probation and to be free of registering as sex offenders. In our barbaric materialistic society, paying for sex with children makes it risk free.
They will receive probation, no jail time, and do not have to register as sex offenders.
In my expert opinion, this is the same as giving permission to rape our children for money.
I HATE that authorities are still unwilling to protect our minors, even after 23 years of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act federally and 21 years of it being law in Texas.
Shame on this office!!!
Don't blame the victims, I was part of finding one of the victims- there was plenty of evidence!
And another prosecutor agrees with me.
Please read this story and then know all the teens and young adults in Texas are nothing but dollar signs to sex traffickers. No risk at all to sell our kids for rape!
One of the buyers even came forward. Just FYI, buyers are legally responsible the same as the traffickers. The buyer has no risk either.
Buy away is the message sent AGAIN today by a WOMAN judge in a Texas court. I wonder how anyone with children or who knows children could allow this?!
You are NOT an adult if you are in authority and unwilling to protect children who are being sold for sex, you are a monster!
Those children will NEVER be children again. Their childlike joy stolen. The damage done does not heal like the bruises and cuts do- this is barbaric, and I am ashamed of the state I once was proud to call mine.
Kirsta Leeburg Melton, CEO of the Institute to Combat Trafficking and a former director of the Texas Attorney General’s Office of Human Trafficking said the following:
“The quality of this evidence in this case is excellent. The San Antonio Police Department did a tremendous job in gathering not only witness testimony, but many and varied sources of corroborating evidence,” Melton said. “With the type of evidence that was gathered in this case, it is an eminently triable case, and deserves to go in front of a jury.”
Why on earth would his office do that?!
