Victims of sex trafficking endured additional abuse at local state shelter, according to current employee.
"There were no allegations or evidence that these residents were sexually abused or assaulted by anyone," McCraw wrote in initial findings released less than a week after The Texas Rangers started its investigation. DPS and the governor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment late Monday. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services declined to comment.
A court hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday in which state leaders, attorneys and U.S. District Court Judge Janis Jack will discuss the situation at The Refuge. Jack ordered state officials to provide the recorded interviews of the children who were placed at the shelter.
