| Only then did Zloch learn that McDaniel had preyed on other girls over the internet, |
| including a 16-year-old California girl whom he brought to Texas and impregnated. |
| He was also having another relationship with a 15-year-old girl at the time of his |
| arrest, Villafaña admitted in court. |
| The judge promptly sentenced McDaniel to 10 years - twice what Villafaña |
| recommended. |
| Three months later, in January 2007, after reviewing the entire case, Zloch issued |
| an order excoriating Villafaña for failing to tell him about McDaniel's prior history. |
| "The serial nature of defendant's seduction of minor girls was revealed for the first |
| time to the court upon the Government's response to the Court's inquiry," Zloch |
| wrote, explaining that the defendant's past was evidence of predatory behavior that |
| warranted a harsher sentence because he may pose a danger to the community. |
| Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Lourie was assigned to try to correct the record and |
| persuade the judge to strike a portion of his comments. They argued that since |
| McDaniel had never before been charged with a crime, the history was not relevant |
