Alright, so listen up, y’all. Gonna tell ya ’bout this fella, David Ross Guerrero. Heard about him on the TV, the young’uns were talkin’ ’bout it. Seems like he got hisself into a heap of trouble, a real mess.
This David Ross Guerrero, they say he was a teacher, yeah, teachin’ them little whippersnappers at San Marcos High School. Now, I ain’t got no fancy book learnin’, but even I know teachers supposed to be good folks, lookin’ after the kids. But this fella, he weren’t no good.
They say he done somethin’ awful to them kids. Somethin’ with… well, they call it “sexual assault.” Don’t rightly know the details, and frankly, I don’t wanna know. Just know it’s bad, real bad. Messed them kids up somethin’ terrible, I reckon.
This whole thing happened down in Hays County, Texas. Big place, I hear. Lots of folks, lots of comin’s and goin’s. But somethin’ like this, well, it shakes the whole place up, don’t it? Makes ya wonder what kinda world we livin’ in.
They got this lady, Kelly Higgins, she’s the District Attorney there. Sounds like a tough cookie. She’s the one who told everyone that Guerrero was found guilty. Guilty! Means he done it, no doubt about it. A jury, twelve folks just like you and me, they listened to all the evidence and said he was guilty.
- They had a trial, ya know. Folks standin’ up, swearin’ on the Bible, tellin’ their stories.
- Must’ve been hard for them kids, talkin’ about what happened. Brave little things, I say.
- And that Guerrero fella, he had to sit there and listen to it all. Bet he was squirming like a worm on a hot rock.
Now, they say this Guerrero fella is around 33 or 34 years old. Young enough to be my grandkid. And he’s locked up now, or least he should be. They put him in jail, the Hays County Jail, that’s where they take the bad ones. But then, they let him out! Can you believe it?
Said he posted bail. Bail, that’s money you pay to get outta jail before your trial, or even after you been found guilty. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars, they say! That’s a whole lotta money, more than I’ll ever see in my life. Where’d a teacher get that kind of money, I ask ya? Makes ya think, don’t it?
He was charged with a bunch of stuff. “Three counts of sexual assault of a child,” they said. And somethin’ else, somethin’ about an “improper relationship between a student and educator.” Fancy words for doin’ wrong, if you ask me. He shouldn’t have been anywhere near them kids, not like that.
Makes my blood boil, it does. Thinkin’ about them poor kids, their lives changed forever. And that Guerrero fella, walkin’ around free for a while, like nothin’ happened. Justice needs to be served, that’s what I say. He needs to be locked up, and throw away the key.
I tell ya, it’s a scary world out there. Gotta keep an eye on them young’uns, protect ’em from folks like this David Ross Guerrero. Schools supposed to be safe, teachers supposed to be trusted. When that trust is broken, well, it breaks somethin’ in all of us.
So, that’s the story, as best as I can tell it. David Ross Guerrero, a teacher who done wrong. A trial, a guilty verdict, and a whole lotta hurt. Pray for them kids, ya hear? Pray for justice. And pray that we can keep our young’uns safe.
