Recently, in the city of Wichita Falls, Texas an accused sex offender was allowed to plea-bargain down in order to avoid both jail time and to stay off the sex offender registry. This will almost certainly ensure that both he and others like him Are more likely to reoffend, placing both my children and yours at risk for physical and emotional trauma. I find this practice of inappropriate empowerment to be unconscionable. If you agree, please join me in asking governor Greg Abbot to introduce a bill prohibiting plea deals for those accused of sex offenses directed towards children.
