Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

indecency with a child

I live in Texas and an 18 yr old had been persuing my 13 yr old daughter and has succeeded. I was decieved by an aunt ( which I did not know was related to) in trusting my daughter to spend the night with her niece (a friend of my daughter...also, not known to be related to) and have come to find out they were alowing this boy to sleep with my daughter and they also, got my daughter high and gave her alcohol. This was the 1st on all occurances for my daughter...what are my legal rights besides pressing criminal charges with the local law enforcement which I have already done?

Re: indecency with a child

You could pursue assault and battery causes of action against the 18 year old. You might be able to pursue civil conspiracy and concert of action against the aunt. Might be worthwhile if she has any money or property subject to execution. Good Luck.
