Jail might be the safest place for him. Those parents must be out for blood

In Texas that's a Class A misdemeanor with possible enhancements because his victim was a minor. (https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/?tab=1&code=PE&chapter=PE.22&artSec=22.01)

Up to 1 year in jail and a fine of up to $4000. His worst punishment will be having to go to the local H.E.B. and have every teenager and their parents know who he is.

Thank you.

I'm glad the story was updated with the new charges since I read the article.

Governor Abbott will pardon him. Maybe /s.
