Texas Jury Does Not Indict Man Who Killed Young Daughter’s Molester
A Texas jury has decided not to indict the man who killed the man he found in the process of raping his small daughter in Lavaca County.
The traumatic incident occurred in Shiner, Texas on June 9th, when ranch hand Jesus Mora Flores, 47, walked off with an unnamed child during a family barbeque, ostensibly to feed chickens. But a member of the family Flores worked for witnessed the worker forcibly moving the child, alerting her 23-year-old father to the possibility of an assault in progress.
By all accounts, the family member’s instincts were correct. When the young man, whose identity is also being withheld to protect his daughter, he says he found Flores in the process of molesting his daughter. Intending to stop the assault, the young man began striking Flores about the head and neck.
Despite the fact that Flores’ pants were still down from the rape, the distraught father then called emergency services to try to save the worker’s life, and 911 tapes reveal that the man was urging 911 dispatchers to respond quickly so Flores wouldn’t “die on [him.]”
On the tapes, the man who attacked his daughter’s rapist explains:
“I need an ambulance. This guy was raping my daughter and I beat him up. And I don’t know … I don’t know what to do… The guy’s dying on me!”
Lavaca County District Attorney Heather McMinn explained the DA’s decision in the case:
“Under the law in the State of Texas, deadly force is justified in order to stop and aggravated sexual assault or a sexual assault. All of the evidence that was presented showed that, that was in fact what was occurring when the victim’s father arrived at the scene.”
A lawyer for the young father explains that her client is a “peaceable man” who now must live with the incident day to day.

I hope that S.O.B dies!
Jun 20, 2012
Totally Agree! this law should be in every state!
Jun 20, 2012
The father was justified…one less rapist to be concerned about….hope the little girl is o.k……
Jun 20, 2012
If I ever saw someone doing that to my kids I'd beat the shit out of them to. Truth be told I'd Probably KILL them!
Jun 20, 2012
The father's reaction was normal. The molester didn't care about the fact that he was forever altering the child's life. He needed to be stopped.
Jun 20, 2012
I would do that – or more – if I had been in the same position. I just don't know that I'd have called the law.
Jun 20, 2012
needs to be done more with these twusted fucks.
Jun 20, 2012
I don't know one person who has heard of this story and not taken the father's side. He has so much support! I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe that this man's fate was to die from this incident. Otherwise, the judicial system would have failed this family (like so many others) and this would have happened again.
Jun 20, 2012
So agree….I know that I would have done the same thing. Thankfully the dad found his daughter.
Jun 20, 2012
What I want to know is why the family member watching the man take the girl didn't stop them or do something? Why wouldn't you stop a man from taking a girl who obviously didn't want to go… Moron…
Jun 20, 2012
So Zimmerman just has to convince the jurry he was getting raped by trayvon?
Jun 20, 2012
??????
Jun 20, 2012
His action are justified. The law would only have given him a few years then turned him out on the street to destroy another childs life. If all child molestors were given the DEATH penalty maybe it would not be running rapid in out country.
Jun 20, 2012
The family member could have been a young child or an old man or women – the story doesn't say. And this person did do something – he or she alerted the parent.
Jun 20, 2012
????? "S.O.B. dies". I am assuming you mean the father because the raipest is dead. Why would you kill a father for defending his daughter?
Jun 20, 2012
Im sorry but at a family reunion/party there are people around. Stop the guy and make a big enough scene that attention is drawn…And I am a woman…I would fight as hard as I could ANY person I saw dragging a screaming child away from people. This person told the parents but damage was already done to this child that didnt need to be done…..
Jun 20, 2012
Nowhere in the story does it say that the child was screaming. The ranch hand was forcibly taking the girl but she wasn't screaming. But you are right–it shouldn't have gotten that far. With enough people there, the minute you see something that just doesn't look right, you go and find out what's going on.
Jun 20, 2012
This story is about a little girl getting raped, and the father beating the man to death. NOT about Zimmerman or Trayvon!! Stick to the Story here!!!
Jun 20, 2012
Good for that Jury, I comend you all. Sad thing about this is that the child will be scarred for life. This isn't something you can put away, in the back of your mind and forget about.
Jun 20, 2012
Every state SHOULD enforce a law like this. I hope the young father knows that what he did was the right thing by his daughter. That creep is now off the earth, can never do this to another child and will not cost tax payers money to take his sorry ass to court. This father should be classified a hero….I pray for him to have peace, that his daughter will be able to get past this without negatively affecting her in her future. Praise God someone saw this and alerted the young father. He did the right thing!
Jun 21, 2012
I'm sure most of us would have done the same thing —without giving it a 2nd thought.
Jun 21, 2012
I would of done the same thing…… NO ONE should even think about doing something like that to my lil one
Jun 21, 2012
When I saw that on the news I had said that that man deserves a medal.
Jun 21, 2012
It iis the same "stand your ground" law, though.
Jun 21, 2012
I agree! The rest of the United States should have laws (and gun laws) like Texas has.
Jun 21, 2012
THIS IS TEXAS!
Jun 21, 2012
I fail to see your point. here are thirty somethin states that have this law on the books.
Jun 22, 2012
As it should be Molesters should be turned over to the parents for punishment not the law. The family should decide the punishment. the law is to leanient. I have all daughters and if this were to happen to one of my girls so help me god they better hope the law finds them before I do cuase I am coming and hell is comeing with me!
Jun 22, 2012
But a member of the family Flores worked for witnessed the worker forcibly moving the child..If you look it says forcibly moving the child…..And if you have children you will realize that trying to make a child do something they dont want to do well it makes them cry and/or scream. The person who noticed should have at least gone up to them and asked if she could help or if she could locate the childs father for him…..
Jun 23, 2012
Like, Like, Like…would have done the same.
Jun 23, 2012
Like, Like, Like…would have done the same.
Jun 26, 2012
I say it's about TIME the law is doing something that makes sense!
Sep 20, 2012
God bless this daddy, and God bless Texas! Thankfully this family can heal now, and one less pervert is on the streets of America!

I'm glad he was not indicted. He did what any loving father would do. The fact that the rapist still had his head attached to his body shows the level of restrain he showed. I don't know that any of us could stop.
