We've all heard how corrupt Ken Paxton is. But he is also incredibly stupid if he thinks this "well, he served 60 whole days" excuse for releasing Adam Hoffman, who sexually abused a boy over a three-year period starting when he was 8.
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 2w agoKen Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.
