Texas Right to Life fired Bowen
Bowen, 34, of Montgomery, was taken to the Montgomery jail. And charged on August 3, 2022.
According to Texas Right to Life, Director of Media and Communication Kim Schwartz confirmed via email Bowen was fired by the organization on the day of his arrest.
Conroe-based attorney E. Tay Bond, representing Bowen, had no comment on the sentencing. He has emphasized since the arrest that there was no actual victim in the case.
“This investigation revolves around a fictitious alleged minor created by law enforcement and posted on the Internet,” Bond previously claimed. “There is not a real victim in the case.”
Assistant District Attorney Kelly Blackburn said the sting is a standard operation by the ICAC task force. The lead agency was the Montgomery County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office which made Bowen’s arrest.
Blackburn said the Houston ICAC is part of a national network of 61 coordinated task forces. It represents over 4,500 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. And remains dedicated to investigating, prosecuting, and developing effective responses to internet crimes against children.
