fair point.She was in her early 30s. She went to night school for over a decade before enrolling at SMU. You can give her the benefit of the doubt as to what she may or may not have known, but you cannot chalk it up to youthful indiscretion.
her getting an extremely lenient sentence says to me that she was clueless. she was guilty to the letter of the law but not the spirit of it, so they let her off lightly. That makes a lot more sense than her knowingly being involved and getting a sentence of "leave town". saying she got caught makes its sound like she set it up. she was probably one of several people caught in whatever raid happened at the call center. the bosses probably went to jail, and all the people working the phones got off light.
its not like she is the first politician, or person in general, to take a shady job in college....
we know all paper boys are drug dealers, cashiers are money launders, and call center workers are pimps. no one ever gets pulled into things without them knowing its was illegal, especially as a college kid.
if the sentence to her "criminal record" is leave town, this sounds like a major nothing-burger.
I still call BS on the explanation. If she was completely ignorant and has no priors, there would be no charge. If you are an Uber driver and unknowingly transport drug dealers, you don't get charged for trafficking...
The purpose of deferred adjudication is to keep tabs on you for a couple of years to see if charges can be dropped. Telling the person to leave town is the exact opposite of what you would expect.
Again, her ignorance explanation makes no sense...

A #MAGA mayoral candidate with an alias: Gabrielle Hanson's history of 'promoting prostitution'
A NewsChannel 5 investigation discovered there appears to be a lot that she left out of the story she chose to share with her followers.www.newschannel5.com
This should surprise no one. Miss "transparency" can't stop lying.
This the same lady that posted some company’s advertising photos and claimed it was a meeting of her friends and executive committee and when the news tracked the women down they were progressives from Chicago and Seattle who had never heard of her, or is there another lunatic running for mayor up there?
Edit: 'Appalled!' Women say #MAGA mayoral candidate ripped off their images to claim them as supporters

Uhhhh.... 30 years ago she had a job working as a secretary for a call girl operation? and it was a deferment? and this is news? seriously?
Wait, ahhhh I see it now. She is a Maga Republican and wants to stop the mutilation of children. Now it all makes sense.
Both sides have very questionable people .. taking my side out of the equation, she (R) doesn’t need to run, Megan Barry(D) didn’t need to be Nashville mayor (and she gone), and this Only Fans nurse practitioner (D).. also doesn’t need to run.. surely both sides can find better people if these are token candidates, maybe they need to reassess this process of the choosing.. maybe we should be doing best qualified, rather than just ticking boxes.. at least do some background checks or due diligence first lolIt's news because she's running a campaign based on morals and it was clear she's lying straight through her teeth.
Only partisan hacks with a room temperature IQ didn't see this coming...
Guess we know which consultant she hired.Uhhhh.... 30 years ago she had a job working as a secretary for a call girl operation? and it was a deferment? and this is news? seriously?

I really have no idea who this lady is but I honestly dont see the connection between running on a "morality campaign" today and mistakes she made 30 years ago.
I would care a lot more about how is she living her life NOW and in the recent past compared to what she says she represents. For example - Lauren Boebert, THAT is hypocrisy - but if you are having to stretch back 30 years, I think says more about you than the candidate.
