Father Who Beat Man To Death For Raping His Five Year Old Daughter Faces No Charges In Texas

Lavaca County, Texas — It’s hard to even imagine how horrifying it would be to find a forty seven year old man molesting your five year old daughter in a barn. In that situation, most of us would instinctively feel compelled to act just like this.

Sherriff in Texas

A Texas father who discovered a man raping his five-year-old daughter and beat him to death with his bare hands will not be charged with homicide under state law.

A Lavaca County grand jury decided not to press charges against the 23-year-old father in the June 9th death of Jesus Mora Flores, 47, who was killed inside a remote shack after he was caught molesting the young girl.

Under Texas state law, deadly force is authorized and indeed, justified in order to stop an aggravated sexual assault and coupled with the fact that the harrowing 911 calls made by the father back claims he even tried to save the pedophile’s life led to the grand jury’s decision.

Lavaca County sheriff’s deputies said that the father, whose name has not been released to protect the little girl’s identity, sent her and her brother to feed the family’s chickens.

The boy rushed back to tell his dad that someone had grabbed his sister and taken her to a small secluded shack and the father rushed towards his daughter’s screams and arrived to find them both with their underwear off.

Flying into a rage, the father beat Flores unconscious, but attempted to call 911 for the rapist after he had made sure his daughter was safe.

Sheriff Micah Harmon had said in June that he was not willing to press charges against the father, rather the case would be presented to a grand jury.

At the time, Harmon said that the man was ‘very remorseful’ and didn’t know at the time he had killed Flores.

Child molesters deserve to be put to death anyway and Jesus Mora Flores received justice at the hands of the victim’s father; that seems perfectly acceptable. That’s why it’s lucky this happened in Texas instead of a more liberal state. At this point, we should all thank the sheriff and the grand jury for their wisdom, while hoping that little girl and her father are doing okay after what happened.
