TL;DR Summary

A Texas mother's daughter was sex trafficked at 16 by two men who were recently given a plea deal of five years probation for aggravated promotion of prostitution, despite the original charges carrying potential sentences of decades in prison. The case has seen years of delay, a parade of prosecutors, an aborted trial, and ultimately a stark retreat by the government. The attorney general's office, which fights court battles affecting people far beyond Texas, has been under scrutiny for its handling of trafficking cases and its use of millions of state tax dollars. The mother is still grasping for closure and has filed legal complaints, although none will reopen the criminal case.
