Child Sex Offender Sentenced to Needlework

(Edinburg, Texas) Hidalgo County State District Judge Rose Guerra Reyna sentenced Robert Thompson to 320 hours of crocheting after he pleaded no contest to sexually assaulting a child. Apparently, the sexual assault charge came about as part of a divorce proceeding and there was no evidence to support it. Nevertheless, Thompson was conned into pleading no contest to make everything go away. Unfortunately, he'll have to register as a sex offender for life and cannot see his kids for five years.

Some deal.
