Freestone County commissioners seek constable's removal from office
Freestone County commissioners last week voted unanimously in favor of a petition seeking to remove Precinct 4 Constable Kenneth Isaaks Sessions from office after he pleaded no contest to a charge that he sent unsolicited explicit images to an employee.
Freestone County Commissioner Will McSwane confirmed the measure refers to the allegations against Sessions and approves a petition seeking to remove him from his elected office, though it does not refer to Sessions by name.
The vote follows Sessions' March 18 no-contest plea to a Class C misdemeanor charge of unlawful electronic transmission of sexually explicit visual material in Limestone County.
Limestone County Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Ray Jones found Sessions guilty but deferred a final conviction, placing him on a 15-day deferral period that was set to end April 2. Jones has completed the terms, meaning his case has been dismissed.
A woman Sessions hired for a private business reported he sent her images of his genitals, according to the woman's attorney, David Moore.
Moore said the woman, a sexual assault survivor, worked for Sessions for one day before quitting and later received the images. She reported the messages to law enforcement in Limestone County, where she received them.
Sessions told investigators he sent the images but attributed his actions to medication, Moore has said previously.
Moore previously described his client as "livid" and "absolutely disappointed" with the outcome of the case and said she obtained a right-to-sue letter from the Texas Workforce Commission.
He also claims Sessions was removed from required sexual harassment training and did not complete another course, which he said should have led the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to revoke his license for failing to meet the 40-hour requirement.
"Instead, Constable Sessions was granted a privilege not afforded to others; he was permitted to watch videos at home and submit written summaries in lieu of attending class," Moore said last week in an email. "This is a troubling example of TCOLE shielding an individual who has demonstrated he is unfit to hold a badge, a firearm, or a position of authority."
TCOLE spokesperson Gretchen Grigsby said the commission received a complaint from Moore regarding Sessions in November.
"The allegations in Mr. Moore's complaint are not within TCOLE's purview to investigate, and Mr. Moore was notified that the issue was non-jurisdictional for TCOLE," Grigsby said.
Moore said he plans to send letters to Gov. Greg Abbott and state Rep. Angelia Orr advocating for TCOLE "to be reformed into an agency that strictly enforces its mandate of ensuring professional and ethical standards across law enforcement."
Sessions did not return calls seeking an interview Wednesday and Thursday.
