HAYS COUNTY -- A 44-year-old 15 year veteran of Texas Department of Criminal Justice and prison "guard" was sentenced to the rest of his life in prison after a Hays County jury convicted him of trafficking charges after he was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
According to the Hays County District Attorney’s Office, Robert Ritz was arrested in January 2013 after he met the young girl on a social networking site called 'Badoo.'
According to a press release, Ritz is alleged to have sexually assaulted the 13 year old female child in front of another 12 year old child. Ritz continued to have sexual relationships with her even after he became aware police were investigating him.
Due to Ritz picking the child up from her home and transporting her over county lines from Hayes County to Travis County, this allowed prosecutors to charge him with the state's new sex trafficking charge, which carries a life sentence. Without this charge, Ritz could have served as little as five years in prison. Now he faces life without the possibility of parole.
Even after being arrested, Ritz continued to write the victim a letter encouraging their relationship. Ritz will now be unable to contact the 13 year old with his new home now going to be the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, a place Ritz should be familiar with.
Thank you for posting this sick individual's picture. He needs as much public shame as possible for disrespecting the uniform. There should be no easy ride for those in uniform who break bad. When he started he should have asked for a pair of whites.
ReplyDeleteThose of you who are out there like this perv should learn the lesson, quit or be exposed.
All TDC guards should be in Inmate White, your No better then most Inmates, you all think your real cops, Thats funny
DeleteOh look at the inmate. Betcha feel big and bad posting on an officer website. Why don't you go back to the rock you crawled out of.
DeleteI actually worked with this individual. It sickens me to my stomach how this dude did this. I hope he gets whats coming to him. Pedophiles in the prison system dont last long. I should know. I worked a pedophile unit. But if those inmates find out he was an officer it'll be 100 times worse.
ReplyDeleteWhat pedophile unit? Hell they are babyed in TDC
DeleteAnother jerk off making us all look bad. I hope he doesnt come to my unit...he'd be in deep shit. Ad Seg his ass.
ReplyDeleteHe'll PC. You know he won't be able to walk the line. The fact that he's a "cop" is bad enough. The other charges are just icing on the cake.
DeleteThe person worked at the unit I work at. Everyone tells me he was very arrogant and he thought he was to good to be a TDCJ Officer.
DeleteLOL you retarded TDC guards crack me up, You all think your real cops or you have some kind of power, Your no more then rent a Baby sitter, Thats all, YOUR not the Law, your not cops, You can write up a inmate, thats it, You think your something your NOT. TDC has you there as a Number, just like the inmates, a Number, LOL,
DeleteOh look another inmate how quaint. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
DeleteSay, look here you stupid toothless White trash Crystal meth cupcake fed wannabe gangster, who probably got locked up for raping your underage sister. Go get a Real job and stop cooking meth.....
DeleteSHU is too good for him.... put him in general population the minute he gets off the bus!!!!
ReplyDeleteShut up bitch.... You must be an old ass tdcj guard huh?
DeleteThe DA should have given him an alternative sentence. One week in prison general population with his picture / charge / former occupation posted on every prison dayroom wall and at the chow line. A life sentence is too easy for disrespecting the uniform.
ReplyDeletedisrespecting the uniform? You all think its a Real Cop or Military uniform, Thats funny, Its a clown uniform
DeleteOooo look I see another inmate. Don't you feel do big and bad you little coward.
DeleteDeath
ReplyDeleteJust another corrupt jack boot guard, TDCJ is Full of them, They get a patch on their shirt they think they are Gods, Or Real Police, all they are ,are people who cannot get a skilled Job. If you like walking into a Prison everyday to work, and love the noise and smell? You might have some mental Issues, 99% of guards do in TDC
ReplyDeleteAnother inmate coward so little time.
ReplyDeleteTo be 100% honest, there`s a lot of tdcj staff. That are just like this creep.....A lot of you all are just undercover, and have a job. And it`s all a cover up. There`s been several cases reported like this about individuals that are Texas prison employees. Believe me know some of you not all of you are just as dirty and corrupted as the inmates you`re supposed to guard and supervise. Not all of you but some!!!!!!! And I`d say it to your damn faces.
