    Andrew Jones is not listed as an offender on the DoC website, since the court has granted his motion for confidentiality. As his atty’s make other motions, he’s being granted more exemptions from his court-imposed restrictions.

    Today, attorney Andrew Jones plead guilty to “child abuse” and tampering with evidence – two 3rd degree felonies. Even though he admitted to having sex with a 17 year old, he wasn’t found guilty of any sex crime and won’t have to register as a sex offender. 2 years house arrest, followed by probation. Apparently, the judge did not withhold adjudication, making Jones a “convicted” man, so I expect he’ll have his law license revoked. His victim cried in court re: her emotional pain, but I guess it wasn’t enough to make Jones a “sex offender”. Of course, this outcome doesn’t really surprise me.
