Fmr. Texas Music DJ Justin Frazell Sentenced to Six Years in Prison
Many in the Texas music community we’re shocked to hear the allegations that award-winning Fort Worth DJ Justin Frazell had sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl after a New Year’s Eve party in the opening hours of 2021.
Many were just as shocked to learn that after pleading guilty to the charges, Frazell only received 7 years of probation and would serve no prison time, especially after a second woman came forward accusing him of another improper sex act.
Now those that believed Justin Frazell deserved to be behind bars for his actions are getting their wish, and all because the disgraced DJ could not follow the rules of his court-ordered probation.
As confirmed on June 17th by Tarrant County officials, Frazell will spend the remaining six years of his seven year sentence in prison after he failed to complete a sex offender treatment program. Frazell was discharged from the program without completing it in December of 2024. He also provided a diluted urine sample on one occasion, and failed to provide a urine sample on another occasion as part of his required routine drug and alcohol tests.
After the violations, Frazell was required to report to the Tarrant County Jail on February 18th. He ultimately spent from February 18th until March 3rd in the Tarrant County Jail before being released on a $50,000 bond awaiting sentencing. That sentencing happened this week, and the 51-year-old was sent to incarceration for the rest of his original sentence.
On New Year’s Eve, 2020, Frazell sexually assaulted a young teen at his home after a party in Mansfield, TX. After conducting multiple interviews with witnesses and collecting the DNA evidence, police filed an arrest warrant for Frazell, who was charged with 2nd-degree felony sexual assault charges on March 24th, and later was released on bond.
Then on April 26th, 2021, Frazell was arrested for a second incident on one count of indecent assault stemming from a December 22nd, 2020 incident in Denton County, TX.
For the Denton County incident, Frazell was sentenced to 18 months of deferred-adjudication probation with 80 hours of community service. For the Tarrant County incident, Frazell plead guilty and was sentenced to seven years of deferred adjudication, and would not face a criminal conviction if he successfully met the terms of his sentence.
Frazell had to register as a sex offender, was forbidden from owning firearms, or using drugs or alcohol for the duration of the sentence. According to the district attorney, the victim and her family agreed to the terms of the plea deal.
Justin Frazell was an award-winning radio host of 95.9 The Ranch out of Fort Worth. He started with the company in 2000, and hosted the radio station’s popular weekday morning show beginning in 2009. Before The Ranch, Justin Frazell worked at 570 am KLIF in Dallas starting in 1996, and was a traffic reporter for country station 99.5 The Wolf in 1998. Frizzell had been regularly nominated and awarded by Texas radio organizations for his work at The Ranch.

Wow. I bet the turn of events has left him quite frazzled.
Generally, for violations of probation–where a guy doesn’t commit new crimes, but just violates the terms of probation, itself–they give you a lot of chances before throwing your can in the can. At least in places that I’m aware of. But you shouldn’t count on it if you’re the one whose freedom is on the line. This guy really effed up.

I agree that it’s pretty rare that a probation gets completely revoked. Even if someone violates it, they often are given 1-2 years maybe, with the idea of letting them out again. I think this speaks to just how flippant and in violation Justin Frazell really was.

The fact that he thought he could “put the moves” on his daughter’s underage friend while she was unaware and sleeping shows how much judgement this dude was lacking.

The woman was not legally “underage.”
BTW, Loretta Lynn was married to Mooney and had had two kids with him when she was still 17.
June 18, 2025 @ 5:40 am
So the child in his care whom he plied with alcohol before sexually assaulting wasn’t “legally ‘underage'”?
That makes it ALLLLL better!!!
This sort of comment tends to come from the type of man who knows the age of consent in every state and country he visits.

Look, evidently you and others believe that the woman’s age and legal status ARE very important –because you make the claim that she was “underage.”
If you’re now suggesting that it makes no difference whether she was of age or not, then you shouldn’t be throwing a fit because someone corrects an “insignificant” error.
How ’bout just getting it right,

The colloquial understanding of “underage” is anyone under 18. Regardless of what State law is the moral wrong he committed is just as bad in any state; a man in his late 40’s sexually assaulted one his his daughter’s friends while she was in bed sleeping – and this was after he gave her alcohol illegally (because she is a minor), which was quite obvious in his mind an attempt to make those sexual advances easier.
If this was a case of someone who was 19 or 20 dating a 17 yr old, that is a different discussion.

Jesus fucking Christ; he kept digging.
Luckyoldsun has definitely justified sexually assaulting a drunk, sleeping child on the basis that he’s an “ephebophile.”
June 19, 2025 @ 11:04 pm
I don’t know what Texas law is, but in my state the law broken is that she was “drunk,” not underage. I feel no sorrow for him if the facts of the matter are the facts he was convicted with.

Many judges consider submitting a diluted urine sample more serious than “merely” missing a drug test— on rare occasions some prosecutors might pursue it as a new offense.
June 17, 2025 @ 8:41 pm
Well he deserved to be in there in the first place. Still getting off easy in my book.
June 17, 2025 @ 9:35 pm
There is a mighty thin line between arrogance and stupidity.
He’s out on the streets again within two years thanks to good behaviour. Texas isn’t what it once was.
June 23, 2025 @ 8:24 am
17 might not be under the age of consent, but it is under the age of majority and the drinking age.
I’m not a texas lawyer. I don’t know how the laws work there. But in many jurisdictions, this could still be legally considered a crime against a minor. She was intoxicated, and therefore couldn’t consent to sex, and she was under the age of majority which is 18. Raping a drunk 17 year old is not equivalent to having consensual sex with a sober 17 year old. Rape isn’t consensual sex, it’s a violent crime.

It’s about time!

People like that have a 100% recidivism rate.
There is no “treatment” so that was a preposterous course of remediation at the very best and any judge prescribing such a thing is just part of the ongoing problem of light punishments on child predators.
He belongs in prison if this was his behavior.
June 19, 2025 @ 11:10 pm
I really don’t like equating what he was alleged to have done, and convicted of, with being a pedophile. What he was convicted of doing is disgusting and has been witnessed by many of us so many times. Gross. Whether she’s 17 or 34 doesn’t really change much in the big picture for me. Wrong is wrong. 17 used to be two kids into married life, whatever modern society decides is an adult is probably BS as much as the rest of modern society.

Perhaps P. Diddler will be this POS’ cellmate when he’s convicted.(Maybe Evan Mercer,former Mac Saturn keyboardist who pled guilty to kiddie porn charges in May and received a 15-year prison sentence,will be in the next cell).

I’m sure if ol’ Justin looked like me (i.e.,black),he’d have gotten seven years’ probation for r*ping a white chick.Yeah,and Miami’s Fourth Of July Parade will be postponed because of a blizzard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the comments are really sad, a backhanded way of condoning this behavior. Disturbing is more the word cause it tells you what behavior they find acceptable. This isnt some random 17 year old girl who snuck into a bar. This is a friend of one of your own kids or young adult kids if that makes you feel better. There is a trust that other parents have to be able to have when their kid stays with another friends at their house or wherever. Really doesnt matter whether the girl is 17 or 7. Just like a teacher at a school. Doesnt matter to me the age of the child, sex of the child or the teacher. Should have bern 25 years at minimum.

Sexual assault is sexual assault.
The folks arguing semantics about age. On a country music site. Boy howdy, way to lean into stereo types of deviant backwoods behavior.
He raped a high schooler. When a barely registers as a known figure DJ (or anyone for that matter), is found guilty, and goes to jail because of how flippant he regarded the conditions of the ruling. You breathe a sigh of relief and/ or let loose some words of support for the victim of sexual assault. You don’t go “well, what he did WAS wrong but back in the day an adult was defined by…”
Who gives a shit? He RAPED someone. Jesus Christ.
