Have faith. Believe. Sometimes your wish will come true.
This could, of course, go in any number of subfora, but I choose this, claiming it for justice:
'Tis the season. A long nightmare would seem to be coming to an end. May its echoes someday fade.
Continuous sexual abuse is a felony charge that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of at least twenty-five years in prison.

This could, of course, go in any number of subfora, but I choose this, claiming it for justice:
Police in south Texas say a 9-year-old girl's letter to Santa may have finally stopped a nightmare of sexual abuse for her and her 10-year-old sister.
Police allege that for as long as four years, Andres Enrique Cantu sexually abused the girls in their bedrooms while they slept or did their homework. Cantu is a computer lab aide at an alternative high school but has not been accused of crimes against students there ....
.... The 9-year-old's plea to Santa, written as a school assignment, launched the investigation and led to the first charge of continuous sexual abuse last week. On Tuesday, Cantu was accused of abusing the girl's older sister, who was also mentioned in the letter.
Investigators have refused to share the letter to Santa, saying it is evidence in an ongoing investigation. But the charging affidavit described it as "a wish list to Santa" asking that the girl's relative stop touching her and her sister.
