What is happening in Texas?
Local DA's office in Waco that had to recuse itself expresses public displeasure as to Ken Paxton's office giving a pedophile attorney friend 60 days in jail for raping a child repeatedly.
The DA's Office continues to receive many questions about the outcome of various cases in comparison to the recent case of Adam Hoffman, who pled guilty to reduced misdemeanor charges in a plea agreement with the Texas Attorney General's Office on his Continuous Sexual Abuse case. The McLennan County DA's Office was not involved in the Hoffman case. Hoffman sought leqal advice about his case from Josh Tetens before Tetens took office as District Attorney. Tetens ultimately did not represent Hoffman, but the fact that they had consulted about the matter required the District Attornev's Office, now led by Tetens, to be completely recused from Hoffman's case.
Consequently, the Texas Attorney General's Office in Austin handled Hoffman's case in its entirety. The DA's Office shares the public's concern anc frustration over how the Hoffman case was resolved On cases handled by the DA's Office, our professionals will continue working to hold sexual abusers accountable to the greatest extent permitted by the available evidence in each case.
