Texas Mom's Endless Nightmare with Sex Trafficking Plea Deal.

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 mother is still grasping for closure and has filed legal complaints, although none will reopen the criminal case.
