...sexually abusing his daughter

(CNN) -- A Texas father caught a man sexually assaulting his 4-year-old daughter and punched him in the head repeatedly, killing him, authorities said.

The father was casually acquainted with the alleged abuser, said Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon.

Neither has been publicly identified.

The girl was left inside the family's house during the social gathering, while other members of her family were tending to horses, the sheriff said.

The alleged abuser was known for his horse-grooming abilities, Harmon said.

I wonder how many of the punches he felt before he was knocked out.

Asked whether they would press charges against the father, the sheriff responded, "You have a right to defend your daughter. He 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."

Doesn't sound like a medal is in the works even if it is Texas.

I would do the same thing too. and you are correct, in Maryland he would have gone to jail for defending his daughter.
So the way I see it, if I end up in that situation, and I know Im going to jail for it, Im going to make sure that what I go to jail for is well worth it,, Im going to post bail then go after some of our state officials until I get caught again.

Then and only then can I be justly sentenced to a term.

I'm not sure I would leave my 4 year old alone with people I didn't know. But good on the dad for delivering some good old fashioned justice.

"The substantial amount of evidence showed that the witness statements and the father's statement and what the father had observed was in fact what had happened that day," Lavaca County District Attorney Heather McMinn told reporters.

There is still justice in this country.

I like this story. It doesn't surprise me though all the people saying that this wouldn't happen in Maryland. What is lost on people is that the grand jury is made up of.....YOU. If the charges went forward in Maryland it would be YOU that did it.
