..thanks to a judge in Montgomery County. "..Judge Kelly Case dismissed an online solicitation of a minor charge against a Kingwood man, claiming that the law was unconstitutional based on free speech....In this case, Daniel Paquette, 35, was charged with online solicitation of a minor after members of ICAC posed as a 14-year-old online....This statute is designed to identify and arrest individuals searching for children online to victimize.. ..The methods and procedures used by our investigators specifically weed out those who are merely engaged in twisted sex talk, and arrests are made only when adults get in their car and drive to a location to meet the minor child.”http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/courier/news/montgomery-county-judge-dismisses-online-solicitation-of-a-minor-case/article_83d289c8-ca44-536b-838b-64f1f9fcca0d.htmlI remember when this waste of a human was arrested, and feeling good about him heading off to jail and getting on the perv registry. Well, it isn't going to happen now. Maybe after he victimizes a few local daughters/sisters, justice will prevail...Maybe?! 4951
The article did state that prosecutors plan to appeal this Judge's decision and any future decisions Case makes like this... Hopefully a higher court will see this decision as the colossal mistake it was. 4951
Montgomery county has been coming down hard on these crimes. I don't know why this POS wasn't one of them. Prosecutors are appealing so that's good. If that judge is elected then Montgomery county voters should have him removed. 4951
I looked him up. (Basically I wanted to see if it was a male of female judge... It was a bet between DH and myself.) I'm assuming he's an elected official. Party affiliation is listed as Republican...His term expires in 2016. 4951
Hcad still shows that owner. I am not taking up for him but anyone does some vigilante action could go to jail themselves. Information purposes only 4951
I've been following the antics of Judge Kelly Case. Most of his rulings are overturned. Just read the Montgomery County Police Reporter. The Prosecutor is not impressed with this Judge. The judge was in the Police Reporter this week. There is someone running against him and is running on a platform of how much taxpayer money is wasted because of Judge Case's rulings. 4951
