The daughter of Aransas County TX Judge William Adams has made public a video she secretly recorded seven years ago, apparently showing her father beating her with a leather belt and verbally abusing her.
***WARNING: This video is prolonged, extremely graphic, and powerfully disturbing. Use discretion in choosing whether you wish to view it.***

The video was uploaded to YouTube on October 27, 2011, and was accompanied by this statement:
"2004: Aransas County Court-At-Law Judge William Adams took a belt to his own teenage daughter as punishment for using the internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time. She has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father's backwards views. The judge's wife was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video. The judge's wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist. Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His "judgement" is a giant farce. Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter."
Hillary has spoken with the media (see links below) and confirmed that she indeed posted the video.
Aransas County has asked that the public NOT contact the Sheriff or other officials about this video:
