2005 Facts Compiled from the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office Child Abuse Division
Year 2005
Dallas District Attorney’s Office filed/ indicted about 633 reported child abuse offenders.
About 576 cases were disposed of; (59 were dismissed for various reasons, 18 of these were victim related such as the victim recanting, couldn’t be found, etc… 415 were “plea bargain” without a trial – receiving anywhere from a misdemeanor against them to life in prison.) The Dallas District Attorney’s Office did not have the details of each plea bargain to release. 87 jury trials resulted with dispositions and sentencing. The Dallas district Attorney’s Office rated their jury trial convictions with 87% percent success, meaning they convicted about 76 child abuse perpetrators.
Do the math!
Calculate the number of reported cases below – from data gathered by The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, with the successful prosecutions above, along with the “plea bargain” cases. These statistics are part of the FBI’s national statistics. An average of 97% percent of abused children, reported to legal system, are not protected!
