Jacob Walter Anderson, 24, of Garland, Texas and the former president of Baylor University’s Phi Delta Theta fraternity, forcibly sexually assaulted a fellow student, according to a Waco, Texas arrest affidavit. The arrest affidavit said the woman, then a sophomore at the university, was given a drink at an off-campus frat party and became very disoriented. She was lead outside by Jacob Walter Anderson, according to the report, who took the woman “to a secluded part of the grounds behind a tent in order to get some air, however once away from everyone else attending the party” he sexually assaulted the woman. McLennan County court documents stated that the victim lost consciousness, but awoke alone a short time later in the same outside area before returning to the house and finding a friend, who took her immediately to the hospital.
Jacob Walter Anderson, who was originally indicted on four charges of sexual assault, was offered a plea deal for a lesser charge of unlawful restraint, which is a third-degree felony. Jacob Walter Anderson pled no contest. He will not serve any prison time. He will not be required to register as a sex offender. Instead, he will pay a $400 fine and receive counseling, the Waco Tribune reports, as part of a plea deal offered by the district attorney’s office. If the 24-year-old completes three years on deferred probation, he won’t even have a criminal record.
If Jacob Walter Anderson is 24, then he was probably born in 1984.
And I'm sharing all of this because so many articles don't put his name in the headline, and his name is often buried in articles I've read. I want to make sure that, for the rest of his life, whenever anyone - particularly a potential employer - types the name Jacob Walter Anderson, or Jacob Anderson, into Google or Bing or whatever, and the result is a guy from Texas who was born in 1984, I want to make sure this information comes up. But do remember that there are other people also named this - always double check the results.
