Former Southern Baptist pastor sentenced to 17 years in prison for child molestation
The former pastor of a Southern Baptist church in north Harris County has been sentenced to 17 years in prison after admitting that he molested a young teen for about five years beginning when she was 13, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.
“Several other pastors came forward to tell authorities what was going on after this man confessed to them, and we applaud those people of conscience,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said. “This man, who had risen to a position of authority in the church, turned a child into a victim and violated his community’s trust. The victim and his community deserved, and got, justice.”
Stephen Bratton, 46, was sentenced Friday by state District Judge Hazel Jones after a hearing in which prosecutors and lawyers for Bratton presented evidence from a pre-sentence investigation. Bratton had pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child under the age 14 in February and agreed to let the judge determine his sentence.
According to evidence presented in court, Bratton stepped down from the Grace Family Baptist Church in Cypress Station in May 2019 after confessing to other pastors that he had assaulted the teenage girl for several years with inappropriate touching that escalated to sexual intercourse multiple times a day or several times a week, Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigators said when he was arrested.
Assistant District Attorney Brett Batchelor, who prosecuted the case, said it is important that victims in cases like this get justice.
“We need to protect the community and protect future victims,” Batchelor said. “It’s also a big part of the victim’s healing process.”
Batchelor is assigned to the Crimes Against Children Division of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh, uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh, uh
Ojos de rubí, sonrisa bien brillante
Te seguí, lo sé, mi instinto me llevaba hacia ti
Para comenzar
Te vi con tus amigas, me acerqué
Con el pretexto de invitarte a bailar
Cuerpo a cuerpo tú y yo, pegaditos los dos
Te dije, al oído: “me gustas
Y quiero que vengas conmigo esta noche”
Despertarte a besos, complaciéndote en mi cama
Y mirar tu cara, tu carita sonriente
Que sepa, la gente, que te quiero y que me quieres
No me importa, amor, saber de dónde vienes
Si soy el primero o el último en tu lista
Yo sé bien que es amor a primera vista
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh, uh
Pero, quizá mañana volveré
Y ojalá que nos volvamos a ver
Porque contigo la he pasado muy bien
“No te vayas, por Dios quédate, por favor”
Te dije al oído: “me gustas
Y quiero que duermas conmigo esta noche”
Despertarte a besos, complaciéndote en mi cama
Y mirar tu cara, tu carita sonriente
Que sepa, la gente, que te quiero y que me quieres
No me importa, amor, saber de dónde vienes
Si soy el primero o el último en tu lista
Yo sé bien que es amor a primera vista
Rico fue volverte a ver
Pero más me pasa a mí, vi tu foto en Internet
Todo, todo, en verdad, que tú lo tienes todo
Pasión y rebelde con el amor
Estás en mi camino (Tú), como aquel atardecer
Suele suceder, el amor es ciego nunca puede ver
No me importa, amor, saber de dónde vienes
Si soy la primera o la última en tu lista
Yo sé bien que es amor a primera vista
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh, uh
(Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) Amor, amor, amor
(Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh, uh, uh) Amor, amor, amor
A primera vista

Maluma baby
Muah
Que andabas buscándome
Como loca en la calle
Y yo bebiendo como un loco cerveza
Con unos parceros dañándome la cabeza
Caminando solo
Me la encontré a ella
Me dejé enredar fácil, caí en las garras de ella
Mujer tan bella y yo con una botella
Me dejé enredar fácil, caí en las garras de ella
Me cogiste en un momento de debilidad
Yo jurándome que nunca más te iba a tocar
Todo por culpa de esas malditas cervezas
Con esos labios enfrente, ¿quién no te besa? (Muá)
Porque no fui capaz de ahí mismo darle stop
En el ranking de mi culo siempre fuiste el top
Nos cagamos los dos solos en la relación
Lo dejamos a lo loco así sin protección
Eres mi debilidad, me encanta cuando te pones necia
Era demasiado tarde y yo con los trago’ en la cabeza
Eres mi debilidad, a ti nadie te endereza
Me dejé enredar fácil, caí en las garras de ella
Mujer tan bella y yo con una botella
Me dejé enredar fácil, caí en las garras de ella
Que te pusiste a beber y con un man por ahí te fuiste
Ay baby, me dañaste el corazón
Ya no creo en el amor, ahora por ti soy peor
Ay baby, me dañaste el corazón
Ya no creo en el amor, ahora por ti soy peor
Que andabas buscándome como loca en la calle
Y yo bebiendo como loco cerveza
Con unos parceros dañándome la cabeza
Me dejé enredar fácil, caí en las garras de ella
Mujer tan bella y yo con una botella
Me dejé enredar fácil, caí en las garras de ella
Wolfine, la versatilidad de la calle, papá
Wolfine, ando con el lobo, que no es el de Wall Street
Dj Gangsta, en el ritmo que te provoca

Vanessa Guillen – Un Año Después
Quién puede negar lo triste y desgarradores discursos de Gloria Guillén, madre de Vanessa Guillén, y de hermana menor Lupita Guillén, mientras exigían a los medios de comunicación locales y nacionales conocer el paradero de Vanessa Guillén, desaparecida de Ft. Hood el 23 de abril de 2020.
Sus súplicas catapultaron y obligaron a los medios de comunicación locales y nacionales a destacar los meses de búsqueda y el eventual trágico hallazgo de Vanessa Guillén, quien fue brutalmente asesinada por un compañero soldado en Ft. Capucha. Como resultado, en su honor, los murales de Vanessa Guillén son frecuentes y prominentes en Houston y en toda nuestra nación. El problema actual del acoso sexual y la agresión sexual en el ejército de los EE. UU. Se debe a la tenacidad inquebrantable y la franqueza de la familia Vanessa Guillén.
Ahora, el enfoque de la familia es lograr justicia para Vanessa Guillén y hacer que todos los involucrados rindan cuentas. En segundo lugar, la prevención y protección de todos los jóvenes soldados contra el acoso sexual en el futuro en el impenetrable ejército estadounidense es su prioridad nacional. La persona que encabeza la carga por la justicia de Vanessa Guillén es Mayra Guillén. Es la hermana mayor de Vanessa Guillén, fuerte, reservada, resistente y el pilar de la familia. Ella tiene la misión de encontrar justicia para Su hermana. Esta es su valiente entrevista.
- Después de un año, ¿qué piensa y siente con respecto a la brutal e insensata muerte de Vanesa Guillén?
- Ha pasado un año y solo un año. A veces no puedo aceptar que Vanessa se haya ido. Nada de lo que dice el ejército es creíble. Es difícil para nosotros creer algo y, sin embargo, todavía se niegan a recuperar la confianza del país diciéndonos la verdad y nada más que la verdad para hacer justicia a Vanessa y su familia. La forma en que asesinaron a Vanessa es simplemente increíble, me llena el corazón de dolor e ira con solo pensar en lo mucho que sufrió mi hermana. Luego, para llegar al extremo de tratar de deshacerse de su cuerpo para siempre … ¿qué tipo de maniático hace eso … o debería decir maniáticos?
- ¿Qué puede hacer la comunidad para garantizar justicia para Vanessa Guillén?
- La comunidad puede ayudarnos dando a conocer el caso ya que ha pasado un año y aún no se ha resuelto, no queremos sentir que la gente se olvidó de élla como si fuera noticia de ayer. Por favor, mantenga vivo su nombre y conviértase en parte de la historia. Pídale a su congresista / mujer que apoye la mejora de la justicia militar de Vanessa Guillén y el aumento de la ley de prevención.
- ¿Apoya o cree que es una buena idea que los reclutadores de The Arm Services recluten a estudiantes jóvenes de entre 15 y 18 años en nuestras escuelas secundarias públicas de HISD durante el tiempo de instrucción y en el campus?
- No apoyo la idea de que los reclutadores puedan reclutar adolescentes a una edad tan temprana. Los reclutadores tienden a señalar todos los aspectos positivos de unirse a las fuerzas armadas, pero no brindan comentarios negativos o problemas que aún existen o que han existido durante años. Creo que son demasiado jóvenes y no saben exactamente qué perseguir en la vida, por ejemplo, en la universidad, muchos estudiantes tienden a cambiar de carrera en el primer semestre. ¿Por qué no reclutar en los campus universitarios en su lugar? El ejército le prometió a mi hermana una carrera prometedora, no acoso sexual, asalto y un horrible asesinato por parte de uno de sus hermanos en brazos…
- Si hay algo que pudieras cambiar en el ejército para ayudar a mejorar las cosas, ¿cuál sería?
- Si pudiera cambiar una cosa, sería un par. Por un lado, la seguridad es vital. Creo que debería haber más seguridad en las instalaciones, en este caso las cámaras deberían estar al menos en los estacionamientos. Otro punto clave sería dar a conocer a las personas que están siendo “protegidas” porque no tiene sentido estar a oscuras cuando lo único que queremos es estar seguros y otros miembros del servicio estar seguros. Si no sabemos el nombre o la cara del criminal, ¿cómo se supone que debemos cuidarnos las espaldas? ¿Qué pasa si piensan que está bien volver a atacar, ya que nadie sabe quiénes son y pueden salirse con la suya fácilmente?
Nota: Les pedimos a todos los que lean este artículo que llamen a estos representantes de EE. UU. Y les pidan que apoyen la Ley de Mejoramiento y Aumento de la Prevención de la Justicia Militar de Vanessa Guillén. Esta ley eliminará todos los delitos graves de la cadena de mando.

These Houston-area school districts will offer virtual learning as COVID cases surge
A few local school districts, including Fort Bend and Cy-Fair ISDs, have added remote learning options for their younger students who can’t get vaccinated yet.
With COVID cases climbing, a lot of parents are worried about sending their unvaccinated kids back to school.
Children under the age of 12 aren’t eligible for the COVID vaccine yet, and experts warn the surge will get even worse as they unknowingly spread the virus among themselves and family members.
A few Houston-area school districts have decided to add virtual classes as an option for the youngest students.
Here’s a list of those districts and we’ll update it as needed.
Fort Bend ISD
Fort Bend ISD will offer remote learning for students from Pre-K to sixth grade, beginning on Monday, Aug. 30. Acceptance is based on availability and staff at each grade level requested.
Here’s a timeline.
- August 9-13: Application window opens for families of students in Pre-K – 6
- August 16: Families are notified of acceptance
- August 23-27: student-parent orientation sessions take place
- August 30: Virtual learning program launches
The virtual program is for the entire fall semester. Students enrolled won’t be able to transfer to in-person learning before January 2022.
Katy ISD
Katy ISD approved a Katy Virtual Academy online learning program for students enrolled in kindergarten through sixth grade.
District officials said parents can begin the online application process Wednesday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m. and must apply by midnight on Tuesday, Aug. 17 to enroll in the virtual instructional model.
Online instruction through the Katy Virtual Academy will officially begin on Monday, Aug. 30, and extend through Friday, Oct. 15, 2021.
Here’s a timeline.
- Wednesday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m.: Online application process begins
- Tuesday, Aug. 17 at midnight: Application deadline
- Monday, Aug. 30: Online instruction begins
- Friday, Oct. 15: Online instruction ends
The district said the program is being made available for parents of those students who may wish to immunize their child against COVID but do not currently have the option to do so due to minimum age requirements tied to the current iteration of the vaccine.
Additional information regarding the instructional model can be found on the Katy Virtual Academy K-6 webpage that will open Wednesday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m.
Cy-Fair ISD
Cy-Fair Independent School District is also adding temporary virtual learning options for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
CFISD says parents will receive an email containing a link to enroll their students.
Here’s a timeline:
- Monday, Aug. 9 at 6 p.m.: The application opens
- Thursday, Aug. 12 at 8 a.m.: Application closes
- Monday, Aug. 23: First day of school
Once a vaccine is widely available to younger children, CFISD says the virtual option will no longer be offered.
Conroe ISD
Conroe ISD added a limited virtual option for students in pre-K through sixth grade.
It will be available for select, pre-approved students who may have medical or other issues at home.
The application deadline was Tuesday, August 10.
The program won’t be launched until August 23 or later, according to the superintendent.
Houston ISD
Houston ISD has not added virtual learning but the school board is expected to pass a mask mandate when they meet on Thursday, August 12, according to Superintendent Millard House.
