Post: sex with a minor

Posted by judi on 5/27/07
My son went with a group from people where there was
drinking and minor females reportedly grabbing his crotch
and he had sex with a 16, now 17 (six months later) and is
in jail on Sex assault of a child (only charge in Texas -
not statutory rape.
My son has a mental disability, learning delayed and
testing report recently says he has the mental awareness
of a teenager.
I don't approve this; but, am a recently trained
paralegal, am disabled recovering from auto accident, no
funds - got him a ct-apptd attorney - talked to several
witnesses, tried to get police reports - withheld until
approved release at higher level they said because it
involves a child.
The resources I located state that second degree felony is
when the 'child' is younger then 16, that the 'age gap' is
a major component, that when only three years sentence not
as severe, etc.
He is hearing impaired, learning disabled and currently
diagnosed with major depression.
