The South Texas judge who was caught on camera beating his disabled teenage daughter with a belt over Internet music downloads finally lost his job this week after a Republican challenger defeated him in his reelection campaign. Unofficial returns show Aransas County voters rejected Williams Adams in the Republican primary.
The video caused much public outrage when it was uploaded to YouTube in 2011. It shows William Adams berating and violently beating his teenage daughter with a belt, whipping her in the legs and sides of her body. “Is it fun to disobey your mom and dad?” he can be heard screaming with each lash. He then becomes enraged when the girl refused to bend over.“You don’t deserve to be in this f—-n house!” the man screamed.
To make the matter worse, Hillary’s mother, Hallie, can also be seen yelling at the girl to “turn over like a 16-year-old and take it!”
William Adams was suspended for a year following the release of the video, and the Texas Supreme Court in November 2012 lifted the suspension. After losing this reelection campaign he will no longer be in office.
