cumbent U.S. Sen. John Cornyn's campaign is lashing out at his Texas runoff opponent over a "sweetheart deal" for a sex offender. Adam Hoffman, a lawyer in Waco, Texas, was facing a life sentence for the sexual abuse of a child that lasted three years. Attorney General Ken Paxton, however, reduced the charges last week so that Hoffman will serve only 30 days in jail and will not be required to register as a sex offender, according to reporting from KWTX in Waco. The initial plea offered by Paxton's office would not have required Hoffman to serve additional jail time, but it was rejected by the judge.
