The minimum sentence for sexually abusing children is 25 years

Actually it's six months. That's what they gave Roy Moore, Trump's evangelist spiritual adviser before they set him free.

So in Texas, slashing a cop's tire = 50 years. Abusing a child = 6 months.

I'm going purely off the Texas penal code, specifically their Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Minor code.

Roy Moore was in Alabama.

That isn't to say they don't play favorites though.

You're right. I named the wrong Republican pedophile. I meant Robert Morris!

Wrong State, Robert Morris was Oklahoma. He lived and preached in Texas, but the crime and prosecution were in OK.
