Prosecutors recognized by Texas Senator for their work on ‘Caleb’s Law’
Two local attorneys were publicly recognized by a state legislator for their efforts to affect change for child victims across the state.
During a Jan. 24 Anti-Human Trafficking Day rally on the capitol steps in Austin, District 30 Sen. Drew Springer (R-Muenster) recognized Judy Price, assistant district attorney for the 97th Judicial District, and Paige Williams, ADA for Dallas County and former 97th DA for their efforts on Senate Bill 129.
The bill, filed by Springer, seeks to create stricter punishment ranges for offenders who possess child pornography. It has become known as Caleb’s Law and the work on this bill began on the anniversary of the Ricky Howard trial. In July, 2021, Howard, was sentenced in federal court for possessing pornographic images of missing Nocona teen Caleb Diehl.
