I'm guessing it is this Thomas Bodin of San Angelo, TX

Protest set to decry man's plea agreement

SAN ANGELO, Texas - A couple dozen people crowded under the gazebo at Unidad Park early Saturday, making posters emblazoned with messages such as, “Justice system has failed us” and “It should not hurt to be a child.”

Those signs will be displayed Monday outside the Tom Green County Courthouse, where people plan to gather at 8 a.m. to protest a recent plea agreement involving Thomas Boden.

Last week Boden, 29, received 10 years deferred adjudication after pleading guilty to injury of a child, stemming from a January incident involving a 2-year-old girl. The plea agreement resulted in the dismissal of one charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child and a charge of indecency with a child by contact.

“There is no justice for the victim,” attendee Kay Hickey said Saturday. “They suffer for the rest of their life.”
