Wasn't it 30 days for the deal Ken Paxton (Texas attorney general, running for higher office too I think) made for his buddy? Nothing like being tough on crime and protecting the children. Okay I googled, guy was.Adam Hoffman, and didn't have to register as a sex offender even.

Crap they really took 'wont someone please think of the children' line too literally.

Maybe something I missed for the 30 days but still, Ken Paxton is attorney general and let the guy off with a slap on the wrist. Good going tough on crime party. Maybe next time you can let him browse an elementary school sleepover rather than let his indictments sit stale. Oddly he's been under indictment but protected due position. Funny that. Course Texas would never fucking vote Democrat maybe let some bad folk in.
