A Texas father has not been arrested and is unlikely to face charges after he beat a man to death for trying to molest his 4-year-old daughter at their rural ranch, authorities said Monday.
Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon said... the victim was a 47-year-old man from Gonazles with no apparent prior criminal history.... an "acquaintance" of the father who had come to help care for some horses...
The father called police late Saturday afternoon and told them he attacked a man caught trying to sexually assault his daughter, Harmon said. The alleged attack happened near a barn where some horses were being kept.

Or is this another case?
About 25 years ago, I heard a man testifying at his own murder trial in Texas. They asked him, "Why did you kill him?" The answer was short and to the crux of the issue, "He needed killin." At the end of the day, that is the only justifiable case for homicide.
This sick bastard attacked a little girl. He most definitely needed killin.
As I’ve said before regarding this story, I’m very happy that there is no arrest in this case. It would be a travesty of justice to arrest this man.
I really wish I could have “caught” the man touching my daughter instead of it having to be reported and letting the courts decide the sentence. All he got was 3 months and 5,000 fine. He hasn’t completed his mandatory classes and instead of throwing the book at him, they just give him more time to finish. It’s better if you can take care of it yourself, the children aren’t the main concern anymore...the criminal is!
“... the victim was a 47-year-old man from Gonazles with no apparent prior criminal history “
The little girl was the *Victim*...
The perp was the *Perp*...
The father was the *Hero*....
Oh, I am so very sorry. He will get his eventually, but I can only imagine how unjust it must feel to you at present.

Lavaca County authorities on Friday identified the 47-year-old man who was caught molesting a girl and then beaten to death by the child’s father.
Jesus Mora Flores was killed on the afternoon of June 9 on a rural farm pasture on County Road 302 between Shiner and Yoakum.
In a press release issued Friday, authorities said Flores was attempting to sexually assault the girl, whose age was corrected by officials Friday to be 5 years old.
“When emergency medical personnel arrived, Jesus Mora Flores’ pants and underwear were down and the man’s genitals were exposed,” said Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon, who was quoted in a press released issued by District Attorney Heather McMinn.
Flores had been hired by the child’s father to care for horses on the property, according to a neighbor.
A public records search shows no permanent address for Flores in Lavaca County.
The press release also confirms that law enforcement officials discovered a witness to the attacks, but does not identify that person.
Investigators found that “a witness observed Jesus Mora Flores forcibly carrying a 5-year-old child off to a secluded area, the witness ran for help and alerted the child’s father.”
The father then heard the child’s scream and ran to help her, the release said. The father then “immediately removed Jesus Mora Flores from on top of his child” and inflicted “several blows” to the man’s head and neck area.
The release stated that all of the physical evidence and witness statements in the case corroborated the father’s statement.
Harmon said Flores was not in the United States illegally and possessed a permanent resident card - more widely known as a green card.
The sheriff said his office has been working with Mexican Consulate officials to locate Flores’ family.
Complete results of the autopsy conducted in Travis County are not expected for several weeks.
Harmon said the girl’s family and father have cooperated with authorities.
McMinn said in the press release that Harmon “made the right decision in not arresting the father at the time of the incident.”
The girl’s father remains remorseful about Flores’ death, said Harmon, who said he expects a grand jury to hear the case next week.
“This case has been very traumatizing on the child, her father and his entire family,” he said.
(CNN) -- A grand jury will weigh whether charges should be filed against a Texas father who killed a man he found sexually abusing his daughter, local authorities said.
According to the Lavaca County Sheriff's Office, the 23-year-old father and his family were enjoying a barbecue last Saturday at their ranch on Shiner's outskirts where they keep horses and chickens.
His young daughter had gone off toward the barn, to feed the chickens... Then her father heard screaming and ran. He found a 47-year-old man in the act of sexually abusing his daughter, according to Sheriff Micah Harmon.
The father stopped the alleged abuser, then pounded him repeatedly in the head....
Authorities have identified the man killed as Jesus Mora Flores. He was an acquaintance of the family, known for his horse-grooming abilities, Harmon said.
Small Texas community stands by man who killed daughter's alleged abuser
In a community that prides itself as being peaceful, a place where things like this just don't happen, there is a sweeping consensus that justice was served....
"Any father would have done that," [said] Michael James Veit, whose son graduated with the father from Shiner High School in 2007 and who now lives across the road from the ranch where the killing took place... "Everybody is saying the father is justified."
Has nothing to do with “stand your ground”.
The Texas Rangers investigated, no charges were brought. Case closed. And I have the utmost confidence in the judgement of the Rangers.
This will now disappear off the MSM radar screen.
The Illegal Perp is dead. End of future threats.
May the father, daughter and family all regain the privacy of their lives in order to deal with this.

O.M.G.! Sickening! And with the family right nearby -- this perv had a death wish, all right.
UPDATE:....the original story listed the victim ID as pending notification of next of kin.....latest I heard they are looking in MEXICO.
Harmon said Flores was not in the United States illegally and possessed a permanent resident card - more widely known as a green card.
The sheriff said his office has been working with Mexican Consulate officials to locate Flores’ family.

I was reading the story in the Victoria, Tx (Where the child was taken to the hospital) paper and several of the comments said he was an illegal alien.
The father did what he had to do, end of story.
Does the perpetrator resemble Obama’s son, if he had one?
The victim was the guy’s little girl.
The guy admitting he isn’t fit to live was the perpetrator.
Think it might be a false green card? Probably not his true name.
As it should be.
