A father who said he saw a man molesting his 4-year-old daughter behind a barn in Lavaca County apparently beat the man to death Saturday afternoon, officials said.
The death occurred about 3:45 p.m. at a horse barn along County Road 302 near Shiner, about 127 miles west of Houston, said Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon.
Harmon said the victim, a 47-year-old Gonzales man, died at the scene. His name has not been released because his next of kin has not yet been notified of the death.
No arrests have been made in the case. Harmon said a grand jury will probably to determine what, if any charges, will be filed.
Harmon said the father and daughter were at their barn with several other people to groom and care for horses there. The victim came with some of the other people, but was not well-known, if all, to the father and child.
The group later heard the girl screaming behind the barn, Harmon said. Her father ran to see what was wrong and said he saw the man allegedly sexually assaulting the child. While pulling the man away from the girl, he hit the man several times in the head, Harmon said.
The girl was taken to DeTar hospital in Victoria to be evaluated and to have tests done to determine if a sexual assault occurred. She was released later

Perfect. Insightful. I can add nothing to that post.
NOT GUILTY!! DEFENDING HIS FAMILY AS HE ALLOWED BY LAW!
“Harmon said a grand jury will probably to determine what, if any charges, will be filed.”
How about removing vermin without a permit?
If his account of what happened to his daughter is correct, that man is a friend to every parent in America. If he’s prosecuted for anything please let us know how to contribute to the defense.
It’s time to stand up for hometown heroes.
The father would have been required to kill the little girl in order to restore the honor of his family.
Nice shooting, Gary.
“Gary, whaa (why)? Whaa Gary, whaa?”
But it is a very dangerous world out there at present. The black market demand for kids is strong.
Roadside justice.
Now THIS is what a “Safe School Czar” is supposed to do.
Spontaneous cranial trama. It’s the spontaneous combustion of the new millinium. Happens all the time.
the STORY says the group heard he scream. if so than it would tend to support the dad, but according to the story, dad was the only one who saw the event actually happen.
Blew that perverts brains out with a clean shot, and then he turned around and set down the weapon on the shelf below the phone. Clearly justifiable in my opinion.
The Sheriff said it.
Too bad the same didn’t happen with Jerry Sandusky.
There’s still time...
Yep...if there is an indictment, jury nullification will likely prevail. “Not guilty” would be my vote...
as i said, if the story is accurate, then dad was fully justified. but after trayvon martin, i dont’ trust anything tha media trots before me, not at least on the first read.
Now this is a genuine Honor Killing.
Good for the dad.
