For instance:


Early last month, NCRM reported that prosecutors were preparing to ask a grand jury to indict Paxton on first-degree felony charges related to violations of federal securities laws. Courthouse News had reported that Special Prosecutor Kent Schaffer said a Texas Rangers investigation found that the admissions Paxton made last year didn't cover the full range of his activities, and that laws were broken further


And


UPDATE: 3:21 PM EDT –

Via NY Times:
"The charges — two counts of first-degree securities fraud and one count of third-degree failure to register — are tied to Mr. Paxton’s work soliciting clients and investors for two companies while he was a member of the Texas House of Representatives but before he was elected attorney general in November 2014."

In the most serious charges — first-degree securities fraud — Mr. Paxton is accused of misleading investors in a technology company, Servergy Inc., which is based in his hometown, McKinney. He is accused of encouraging the investors in 2011 to put more than $600,000 in Servergy while failing to tell them he was making a commission on their investment and misrepresenting himself as an investor in the company, said Kent A. Schaffer, one of the two special prosecutors handling the case.

Students to teacher, "Why does he act that way"? Other students quickly answer, "His father lets him watch pornography on their home TV". Teacher tell students that each of us can set a good example for our friends,parents and the community, by doing what is right. Right thinking is very important in acting right.
