According to
the mother, Jefferson County District Attorney Cory Crenshaw, relative of
Congressman Dan Crenshaw, promised the victim’s mothers that a convicted child
molester accused of molesting their 2 children would face prosecution and a
jury. The victim’s families deserved the day in court for justice for their
children.
Unfortunately,
Cory Crenshaw did not run for election and the new District Attorney Bob
Wortham took over and did not keep that promise. Wortham brought in DA
investigator Marcelo Molfino. Unfortunately for the families, Marcelo Molfino
didn’t even investigate the previously convicted child molester, and then
dropped the prosecution against the man.
I was
contacted by one of the mothers of the victims and I was asked to expose this
grave injustice. I personally spoke with this mother and verified her identity.
However, in order to protect the identity of the child victims I am not
releasing her name.
According to
the mother, she brought the evidence of this child molestation case to Molfino
and dropped it in his lap. She gave him names of witnesses that put this
previously convicted child molester alone in the room with the victims who made
outcries. She gave him the information about a child being taken to the
hospital after the incident. Marcelo Molfino did nothing. He never even talked
to the witnesses nor did he get any hospital records. After completely failing
to investigate the information given to him, DA Wortham then dropped the case
without ever even consulting the families of the victims of this child
molestation.
Maybe
Marcelo Molfino didn’t have time to do his job as the full-time taxpayer funded
investigator due to being distracted by his illegal side jobs. Yes that is
right, the Texas DPS previously determined that Molfino was in violation of a
class A misdemeanor for his unlicensed side jobs. Side jobs that he did during
the day when he was getting paid to investigate for Jefferson County. His boss
Bob Wortham didn’t prosecute him though of course. DA Investigators are not
even supposed to have side jobs without written permission so that there are no
conflicts. No permission was asked or given which is further a violation to
County rules.
Maybe
Marcelo Molfino was paid off. Don’t take it from me though if you think that is
farfetched. Take is from Molfino’s own admissions. Marcelo Molfino previously
testified under oath to getting $1500 cash from a party in a criminal case that
he was handing. No conflict or bribery there right? Of course it is a major
conflict at a minimum. It didn’t bother DA Wortham though who says Molfino is
his “boy” when other officers tried to bring Molfino’s criminal violations to
the attention of DA Wortham.
After
speaking with the mother of this child molestation victim, I asked her to send
me a brief statement of what she had told me over the phone in regards to
Marcelo Molfino and Bob Wortham letting a previously convicted child molester
off of the hook. Below is her statement:
“In
around 2011 a 3 yr boy was molested by his half-brother. He was tried and convicted as a sex offender
in juvenile court in Hardin County Texas. Put on 2 yrs probation and arrested
several times for breaking the terms of his probation. He was also tested by a
psychologist and deemed a narcistic person with pedophilia tendencies.
In or
around 2014-2015 the half brother was accused of another molestation of
another 3 yr old little boy and questioned in Port Arthur Tx. This case was to
be tried by Jefferson County DAs office. The DA at the time was Cory Crenshaw.
I had
access to the juvenile records and physiological report of the offender and
then turned them over to the DAs office in Jefferson County. They assured me
that they would fully prosecute him.
Cory
Crenshaw left the DAs office and went into private practice and this case was
then turned over to the new DA and their staff. I followed this case and before
it came to trial, I had witnesses come forward that I interviewed and the
information was over whelming. These witnesses could put the perpetrator in the
same room with the child alone. I further found out that the child was taken by
ambulance to the hospital. I then
contacted the DAs office to let them know the names and the numbers of the
witnesses that had come forward and I was instructed to contact the
Investigator Molfino which was the DAs lead investigator.
I left
several messages and explained the situation and the information that I had. I
never received a call back.
I then
called the DAs office to let the prosecutor know the things that I had learned,
and she just continued to not pursue the facts in this case. I explained that
the Molfino had never returned my calls or texts.
I went to
court to watch the outcome of this case. 2 of the victims mothers were in the
court room and the case was completely dismissed. On the grounds of not enough
evidence.
I
demanded to see the DA in this case and I explained everything to them that the
witnesses were not even called or contacted. Not even the ambulance or hospital
records were taken into consideration.
Nothing
was done and justice had not been met for any of these children.”
