Texas DJ Justin Frazell Pleads No Contest to 2nd Assault Charge
Former Texas music DJ Justin Frazell has plead No Contest to an indecent assault charge stemming from a December 22nd, 2020 incident in Denton County. It was one of two incidents of a sexual nature that the radio personality had been charged with in the last 14 months. Frazell also plead guilty to the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl as part of a plea deal in Tarrant County in April.
After entering the plea on Wednesday, June 1st in the indecent assault case, Frazell was sentenced to 18 months of deferred-adjudication probation with 80 hours of community service. This means Frazell has now avoided jail time in both cases.
On December 22nd, 2020, Justin Frazell was at the Lucky Spur Ranch Retreat in the Denton County community of Justin for an episode of his Texas Red Dirt Roads series. Later that evening, a woman who attended the event told authorities Frazell entered her bedroom wearing only a shirt and underwear, and started fondling her while she was laying on the bed on top of the covers next to her date. The woman told Frazell to stop and he left the room, only to return later wearing only underwear. Frazell left again when the woman woke her date up.
The accusations came to light after Justin Frazell was indicted in the Fort Worth suburb of Mansfield on an aggravated sexual assault charge, and a lesser sexual assault charge. Frazell had hosted a party at his Mansfield home on New Year’s Eve 2021. A teenage girl was there with her family, but decided to stay the night at the house where Frazell lives with his wife and two children.
Justin Frazell later entered the bedroom where the teen was sleeping. She woke up with Frazell reportedly pulling her blanket back and performing sex acts on her without her consent. When another child in the house entered a nearby bathroom, Frazell stated he was checking on the teen, and eventually left the bedroom. The teenage girl then began texting relatives to come get her. She told her parents about the incident, who called the police.
On April 13th, Justin Frazell was sentenced to seven years of deferred adjudication in the sexual assault case after pleading guilty. Frazell was also ordered to register as a sex offender, and is 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 fired from his job as a radio morning show host at 95.9 The Ranch in Fort Worth on March 29th, 2021 after the allegations surfaced. Frazell had worked at the radio station since 2009. Before working at 95.9 The Ranch in Fort Worth, Justin Frazell had worked at 570 am KLIF in Dallas starting in 1996, and worked as a traffic reporter and weekend host for country station 99.5 The Wolf starting in 1998.

This still seems fishy to me, either hes so wracked with guilt that he’s just not going to bother fighting, or he’s covering for someone
June 4, 2022 @ 4:43 am
I say covering for someone because on your last post about him someone mentioned that it could have been his son
June 4, 2022 @ 7:42 am
Well, it definitely couldn’t be his son in the second instance because it didn’t happen in Mr. Frazell’s house. To me, one of the things that stands out is how similar both instances seem, and when reconstructing the timeline, they both happened within eight days of each other. Something was definitely going on with Justin Frazell where a guy who previously was considered a pillar of the community was slipping into some pattern of behavior. I believe that is what motivated the second individual (who was the first victim) to come forward.

Yeah, everything in the world is fishy.
The guy copped a plea. Avoids the possibility of prison and the accuser avoids having to testify in court. Welcome to the world.

There is this song by Chris janson called you and me and the river. This would have made a better subject matter for the song instead of the normal cheating stuff that is typical of such a song. And it’s exactly what should happen in this case. Just disgusting.

plea or no plea, i find it bizarre you can sexually assault someone and not get jail time.
you molested someone? ahh no booze for 7 years. seems legit. one of these was on a minor? ahhh time served.
something is odd as eff, but i am no lawyer.

17 is the age of consent in Texas
June 5, 2022 @ 7:05 am
17 is the age of consent in Texas for consensual sex, but if they are raped and in other legal matters, a 17-year-old is still considered a minor.

We can all be armchair experts, but if the accusers are happy with the sentence, its a good outcome?
Sounds like everyone was playing ‘nice’, no testifying, no jail time.
Maybe he’s a nice guy if he stays off the drink and everyone knows that?
There are a lot of people doing jail time for things they only would do when under influence of drugs or alcohol, and its debatable if locking them up proves anything if you can just keep them away from the bottle.

So I guess it’s excusable to kill or rape someone if you can justify it by saying they were under the influence of something that they voluntarily took. It’s reasoning like this is why we have zero morals in this country and why the people that try to have some have to live in fear of people like this who should at the least be locked up for a long time and maybe even put against a wall and shot til dead. Accusers were satisfied. Problem with that is these people just put lots of other kids at possible risk just to protect their kids. I might understand if the kids were real young but that’s not the case here, they are pretty close to adults. These parents did a disservice to their girls. Instead of teaching them to stand up for themselves in this type situation going forward even if hard, they taught them it’s better to just let it go and have to deal with that stuff internally and not hold someone accountable for their actions.
