Social media users blasted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after his office approved a plea deal that reduced jail time for Waco attorney Adam Hoffman, who had faced a possible life sentence in a child s**ual abuse case.
Hoffman, 49, pleaded guilty to two misdemeanour charges after prosecutors dropped a first-degree felony charge of repeated s**ual abuse of a young child. Under the agreement offered by Ken Paxton’s office, Hoffman would serve one day in jail and avoid registering as a sex offender.
A few years back.. Trump rewarded the prosecutor who cut a similar deal with Jeffrey Epstein by making him Labor Secretary:
While the handling of the case arose during Acosta’s confirmation hearings, it has come under fresh and intense scrutiny after the prosecutors in New York brought their charges on Monday, alleging Epstein abused dozens of underage girls in the early 2000s, paying them hundreds of dollars in cash for massages, then molesting them at his homes in Florida and New York. Epstein has pleaded not guilty to the charges; if convicted he could be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Acosta’s lawyerly presentation was an effort to push back against growing criticism of his work in a secret 2008 plea deal that let Epstein avoid federal prosecution on charges that he molested teenage girls. A West Palm Beach judge found this year that the deal had violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act because the victims were not informed or consulted.
