Even though Jacob Walter Anderson was indicted on four counts of sexual assault, the ex-fraternity president won’t spend a single day in prison.
Instead, a plea agreement allowed the former Baylor University student to plead no contest to a lesser charge of unlawful restraint.
That means if the 24-year-old successfully completes three years of deferred probation and pays a $400 fine, his criminal record will be wiped clean of the charge, CNN affiliate KWKT said.
Anderson will have to complete alcohol, drug and psychological treatment plans. But he won’t have to register as a sex offender in Texas.
“But he won’t have to register as a sex offender in Texas.” There is so much outrage over this I bet the ones who do have to register (especially in the state of texas) will suffer to make up for it.
The US justice system is so pathetically broken and corrupt. It is no different than in Mexico, just more sophisticated in its corruption. I never touched anyone nor had any contact with anyone and did five years in a concentration camp where people were beaten and murdered, now I have a lifetime on the registry, and this guy, after a period of “good” behavior will have his record wiped clean. Unbelievable.
It’a all about money and power- both of which this PRIVILEGED MAN has going for himself! It’s a shame that the rich have their own set of laws and the poor have to pay with life.
Had he been military, he would’ve possibly been prosecuted on top of this charge with conduct unbecoming against good order and discipline at least.
Come to think of it, because he dealed for a lesser charge, if he was military, then he’d be possibly charged with sexual assault among others where 2/3 guilty votes are only required (until 3/4 goes into effect Jan 1 ’19). Ten years and SO registry for life. Dual-sovereignty at work.
So, the Judge probably considered that putting this young man on the registry would severely limit his future endeavors and cause this young man a possible bleak future at best. The Judge would be hard pressed (and possibly not be able to live with himself if) to ruin this mans future. Nope, not ex post facto..
As I still wonder about this case, I wonder will the Judge be recalled ala Judge Persky was, the DA will be perhaps, or maybe both. Will the dander of the populace be raised to a call of recall or vote out of office action during the next election cycle?
I don’t know which is worse for feeding disinformation about former sexual offenders, some guy who rapes and murders a little blue eyed girl or some cute frat boy who gets less than the rest of us. They both produce the same knee jerk response and re-enliven myths like these:
“…jurors aren’t ready to blame rapists and not victims…” BS, Nassar
“…all rapists who get away with their crimes will never be cured, never change.” Wrong, re-offense rate is very low.
A bunch of hog wash! I don’t even trust CNN to get the story right and report from all angles. I am sick of the media’s passion play revolving around sex crimes. Everyone always looses when they play this, because we get more stupid responses. Another mandatory minimum or other draconian law comes out that punishes all but the offender, whose crime it is a reaction to.
Looks like a petition for recall has begun. Unlike the previous case, I can’t say I disagree here with the recall. The reasoning here for this basically non-sentencing seems incredibly privileged (it’s kinda amazing that the DA is on record with the reasoning).
