A 17-year-old girl KFOX spoke to that asked up not to identify her, claims she was date raped last year.

"Just remembering how my pants were off and I felt something and I kept telling him to stop and I kept telling him not to kiss me,” she remembered. "I was having a lot of trouble walking, kind of perceiving things, and I was really dizzy and my head was extremely heavy."

But you won’t find her attacker on any sex offender registry because her attacker was an underage classmate that went to her high school.

KFOX has learned that the state of Texas is often very lenient on juvenile sex offenders. In most cases juvenile sex offenders don’t see the inside of a jail cell, and even though eligible, they are told they don’t have to register. Which means teachers and fellow students may never know about their crime.

Norma Reed is a juvenile sex offender rehabilitation provider. She said normally as long as juvenile sexual offenders obey their probation, underage sex offenders aren’t forced to register, something she agrees with.

"What happens for juveniles is at the adjudication process, the judge can decide to defer that registration, and that happens most of the time [because] when they are registered and they're identified then they are the subject of harassment, rejection by their peers, it causes problems for their families and it reduces their ability to successfully rehabilitate themselves," Reed said.

We only one registered juvenile sex offender in El Paso and one (now adult) that actually had his school registered, Jefferson High School. However, that is out of the 26 juvenile sex offenders on probation in El Paso. And while some may say it is counter productive for them to be registered, juveniles have around a 20 percent chance of striking again and knowing who and where they are would help some say.

Just in case Angel’s attacker, who got to stay at her school, decided to strike again.

"How embarrassing to have to talk to the police to have to go to counseling, to have your whole schedule and life shifted around under your feet, everything is changed, and seeing him again and again is a reminder of that," the girl said.

There has been a push to make juvenile sex offender punishment harsher within the U.S. and especially here in Texas. But very little progress has been made.
