Animal Beta Project has been patiently waiting for this day when we first began investigating the Crush videos Richards appeared in back in August 2012. Thanks to PETA, Houston Police and Prosecutor for seeking such a lengthy jail sentence!

The Federal case against both Richards and Justice is still awaiting a decision from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals which we hope will be published soon!
