**The original post highlights the extremely lenient outcome but leaves out key context from court records and prosecutors.**
Hoffman faced a felony (continuous sexual abuse of a child) with life possible. Local DA recused over a conflict (Hoffman had consulted him pre-office), so Paxton's AG office prosecuted.
The 2025 trial ended in a hung jury (7-5 for guilt). The young victim (his son's friend) recanted parts of his testimony and did not want to testify again due to trauma/mental health. Prosecutors said without his testimony they couldn't prove the felony, so they offered the misdemeanor plea to secure an admission of guilt and some jail time without forcing a retrial.
Initial deal was ~30 days (or less) + license surrender. Visiting Judge Sparkman rejected it as too soft and doubled to 60 days. With good-time credits, Hoffman (now in Nebraska) is released today after ~28 days served. No sex-offender registration because the misdemeanors as pled don't trigger it. He resigned from the State Bar as part of the deal (processing delayed while jailed; reapply possible after 5 years).
Victim's mother gave an impact statement and forgave him in court (victim sent a note too). AG's office cited protecting the child from more trauma as the main reason.
Many (including TX lawmakers) still call it a miscarriage and are pushing for changes. Full story involves a difficult case with evidentiary hurdles, not just a "deal."
