    Listening to this guy talking about seeing a twelve year old and getting jealous of her boyfriend is truly disturbing.
  • @irishouston4103
    I’m so tired of adults preying on children. This is sad on so many levels.
  • The dads impact statement that came deep from his heart was so incredible yet heart breaking. Such an amazing father, we need more people like him in this world! ❤❤❤
  • @starwarsmom
    Imagine losing your only daughter to a complete lunatic. We need to do better to protect children.
  • Because of this case, and the tenacity of Vern and Bianca, Texas now has Lauren’s Law…
  • @momof3chis291
    That was absolutely the most moving, articulate victim impact statement I’ve ever heard. 😢 I hope that monster NEVER gets out of prison.

    Just the other day I was thinking about how at just 16 yrs old grown men would show me interest. One of them was a law enforcement officer doing weekend security at a local festival. He would call my house and try and come pick me up. It gives me the chills to think about how I was pursued by grown, sometimes married, men... I thought it was flattering because they were so attractive, but in reality, it was predatory, pedophilic behavior. I am now a Mother to a gorgeous 17 yr old daughter and it's truly revolting and scary because this is still such a prevalent issue. 😔

    The dreadful phone call of every parents worst nightmares. Her mind, body, and soul were in extreme shock and denial that she didn't even realize that it WAS that call.
  • @Canadax25
    “His Parents divorced” who cares I don’t care if his parents drowned How ridiculous making excuses for a murderer!
  • @danceydoll5
    The fact that so many people like this still roam freely…
  • @bellehorse
    Such truth, honor, nobility, and love in her father's statement 💗🙏
  • @limabima77
    Dad impact statement got me!!! Wow what a lovely man.
  • @joanodom2104
    I always wonder who raises these monsters. Lauren's parents and her sweet friend are such very special people.
  • @carterfn5939
    The dad statement and the “please look at me” was very strong
  • @Jackie-il4hv
    I can’t imagine being either one of the mothers. Ugh it squeezed my heart so much and then the way Bianca found out was absolutely heartbreaking the fear that poor woman felt.
  • @truthfirst2983
    His ex-girlfriend couldn't get a restraining order!!! What a mess...
