TEXAS – A Texas father who discovered a man raping  his five-year-old daughter and beat him to death with his bare hands will not be  charged with homicide under state law.
A Lavaca County grand jury decided not to  press charges against the 23-year-old father in the June 9th death of Jesus Mora  Flores, 47, who was killed inside a remote shack after he was caught molesting  the young girl.

Heather McMinn, district attorney for Guadalupe, Gonzales and Lavaca Counties,  speaks at a news conference with Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon, second from  right, and V’anne Huger, right, attorney for the father.

Under Texas state law, deadly force is  authorized and indeed, justified in order to stop an aggravated sexual assault  and coupled with the fact that the harrowing 911 calls made by the father back  claims he even tried to save the pedophile’s life led to the grand jury’s  decision.
Lavaca County sheriff’s deputies said that  the father, whose name has not been released to protect the little girl’s  identity, sent her and her brother to feed the family’s chickens.
The boy rushed back to tell his dad that  someone had grabbed his sister and taken her to a small secluded shack and the  father rushed towards his daughter’s screams and arrived to find them both with  their underwear off.
Flying into a rage, the father beat Flores  unconscious, but attempted to call 911 for the rapist after he had made sure his  daughter was safe.
Sheriff Micah Harmon had said in June that he  was not willing to press charges against the father, rather the case would be  presented to a grand jury.
At the time, Harmon said that the man was  ‘very remorseful’ and didn’t know at the time he had killed  Flores.
‘You have a right to defend your daughter,’  Harmon told CNN at the time. ‘The girl’s father acted in defense of his third  person. Once the investigation is completed we will submit it to the district  attorney who then submits it to the grand jury, who will decide if they will  indict him.’
Indeed, the father is heard profanely  screaming at a dispatcher who couldn’t locate the property.
Becoming increasingly frazzled, the father at  one point tells the dispatcher he’s going to put the man in his truck and drive  him to a hospital before sheriff’s deputies finally arrive.
V’Anne Huser, the father’s attorney, sternly  told reporters several times during a news conference at the Lavaca County  courthouse that neither the father nor the family will ever give  interviews.
‘He’s a peaceable soul,’ Huser said. ‘He had  no intention to kill anybody that day.’
The attack happened on the family’s ranch off  a quiet, two-lane county road between the farming towns of Shiner and  Yoakum.  (continue reading)
