 Jessica’s Law’ comes to Texas, below is a brief overview of Jessica Lunsford:

Jessica Lunsford, a 9-year old Florida girl, was kidnapped, raped, and killed by John Couey, a registered sex offender and chronic burglar. He was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death. Mark Lunsford, Jessica’s father, was motivated by the case to encourage passage of tougher sex offender laws throughout the United States. Although Congress and about 30 state legislative bodies have taken different approaches, the key provisions of those laws have included a 25-year mandatory minimum prison sentence and lifetime electronic monitoring for sex offenders. Texas joined the movement by titling House Bill 8 the “Jessica Lunsford Act” and passing it in the 80th Legislative Session.


This provides you all with a little information concerning the approaches for sex- offenders.
