And They Call It Puppy Love...

A rather disturbing story out of Denton County. The 17 year old son of 367th Judicial District Court Judge Lee Gabriel has been indicted on a charge of sexual assault and a second charge of indecency with a child. Robert Wyatt Evans of Sanger is 3 years and 12 days older than his 14 year old lover. In Texas when any minor is over 3 years older than the victim, it is considered sexual assault. It's really bad when it's a homosexual relationship and your Mom is the District Judge.

Both charges are second-degree felonies and carry penalties of two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

This kid just royally screwed his future. (No pun intended) He was ranked eighth in his class and an all-state band member. Instead of heading off to college he'll more than likely be living out his own version of The Shawshank Redemption.

UPDATE: Robert Wyatt Evans pleaded “nolo contendere” to injury to a child, the elderly or disabled, a third-degree felony. He received five years intensive probation, deferred, which means that the rules he must adhere to are more stringent than regular probation. He successfully completed the probation, the case was not be entered as a conviction on his criminal record.
