Fight For Justice

This is what happens when new technology collides with an old crime. A Lewisville woman, Lavinia Masters is finding out. She is fighting to keep the man who raped her at 13, behind bars. If he is released he will not be required to register as a sex offender, because of the way he was identified.

Kevin Glen Turner was never convicted of rape because he was identified 24 years after the crime, by DNA. Masters worries that if he is paroled next year he will be free in the public, without anyone knowing he is a sex offender.

Police admit it's a loophole, but they say only the legislature can make the changes necessary to force every sex criminal to register.
