Meet Adam Dean Hoffman. Adam seemingly had it all. A Great career, a wife, a happy son. He must be highly intelligent because he graduated with a Master's degree from prestigious Cornell University. Then obtained a law degree from Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Go Bears. That's a lot of respectable education for sure.
Adam is married to Jenny, a career teacher. They share a son together. Unfortunately the couple lost an infant daughter many years ago. Mr. Hoffman specializes in patent law, intellectual property law, and the unrelated field of criminal defense. That checks. At the time of publication, Mr. Hoffman is in good standing with the Texas State Bar. According to their website anyway.
Adam is also a CHILD PREDATOR. For several years Predator Hoffman's young son had a best friend who often stayed nights in the Hoffman home. The young friend declared that Predator Hoffman began molesting him around age 7. The victim articulated that the molestation continued at night for years during the sleepovers.
Predator Hoffman's wife Jenny declared her husband absolutely innocent and that the little boy is a liar. She must have truly believed so because she uttered it under oath in her husband's trial. Mrs. Hoffman is a long time educator so she must know a little liar when she sees one. After all, the victim was in the Hoffman home hundreds of times over the years. Mrs. Hoffman even said she "considered the boy family."
One might think a seasoned educator and mother would be more cautious about letting a "little liar" around her child so often. The victim wasn't just a liar. He was also emotionally disturbed and began to have anger issues and and suicidal ideation. The boys emotional instability probably had nothing to do with being s*xually molested by a grown man for so many years.
After his outcry, the victim was forensically interviewed and medically examined by professionals. Charges were brought against Predator Hoffman and it was determined there was enough evidence to charge him with the felony of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child. Being a criminal lawyer himself, Predator Hoffman likely knew how to avoid leaving evidence of a crime. However, the victim was such a good liar, he convinced a grand jury and prosecutors that he was violated by a well-educated, respected member of their own legal community.
Predator Hoffman was clearly worried about these charges and he conferred with a fellow attorney friend named Josh Tetens. Turns out Mr. Tetens was running for McLennan County District Attorney. This caused the DA's office to recuse their involvement in the case and turn it over to the Texas Attorney General's office.
The Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been quite busy for a while now as he is in a heated election for Senator. It's understandably hard to be on the campaign trail and run an entire state office. Apparently lots of minor crimes can fall through the cracks. Crimes like child r**e.
Predator Hoffman's charges resulted in a mistrial as jurors could not come to an agreement. Boy, that little victim must have been a very good liar for it to go all the way to trial and convince half a jury that he was abused by such an upstanding member of society. Predator Hoffman must have breathed a sigh of relief as he was facing a minimum of 25 years to life in prison if found guilty of assaulting the seven to ten year old.
Since Predator Hoffman knows the law, he must have been acutely aware that the typical sentence for Continuous Sexual Abuse of a small child is about 30 years in state prison. Once released, the predator must register as a s*x offender for their entire life. And surely they would not allow a convicted child s*xual predator to practice law in the court system.
Instead of giving Predator Hoffman a new trial or dropping the case, the state made a deal with Predator Hoffman. No, he did not get the average sentence for a predator. He didn't even get the minimum sentence.
Brace yourself If you don't know this already, Predator Hoffman got 30 DAYS in jail. Yes you read that correctly, 30 DAYS. That is less than petty thieves and those with unpaid tickets receive.
Because Predator Hoffman is such an educated and important man, he won't be required to start serving that sentence until April 27th. He's not your run-of-the-mill criminal that can be dragged away in shackles and booked immediately. Oh no. He's the fancy sort who needs time to get his affairs in order.
You may be thinking "Well that seems like a ridiculously short sentence for such a heinous crime. At least he will be registered as a s*x offender his entire life and lose his law license..."
NOPE. Predator Hoffman will NOT HAVE TO REGISTER AS A S*X OFFENDER.
Predator Hoffman is also a licensed attorney in the state of Nebraska where his wife has relocated. Perhaps he will move to, and work in Nebraska. Time will tell.
In order to come to a plea agreement, the offender must admit guilt for the charge included in the agreement. Most courts require verbal and written acknowledgment of guilt while finalizing the plea bargain. Predator Hoffman pled guilty to charges of INDECENT ASSAULT and DISPLAYING HARMFUL MATERIAL TO A MINOR (Both charges are class A misdemeanors.)
So just maybe his son's best friend wasn't a "little liar" after all.
30 days in jail for robbing a child's innocence. Predator Hoffman will likely continue practicing law in Texas or elsewhere. Predator Hoffman will not be restricted in his movement nor will he have to register as a s*x offender. It looks like in Texas, the Attorney General gives sweetheart deals to certain individuals. We've included a photo with Attorney General Paxton's number. In case you want to call personally and ask "What makes Predator Hoffman such a special predator?"
