The Texas Supreme Court suspended Judge William Adams on November 22, 2011 whose beating of his then-teenage daughter in 2004 was viewed millions of times on the Internet.
Aransas County court-at-law Judge William Adams was suspended immediately with pay pending the outcome of the inquiry started earlier this month by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, according to an order signed on November 22, 2011 by the clerk of the state’s highest court.
A petition drive is underway to get Judge William Adams off the bench forever. Please sign….
The order makes clear that while Adams agreed to the commission’s recommended temporary suspension and waived the hearing and notice requirements, he does not admit “guilt, fault or wrongdoing” regarding the allegations. His attorney did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Adams’ now 23-year-old daughter Hillary Adams uploaded the secretly-recorded 2004 video of her father beating her repeatedly with a belt for making illegal downloads from the internet.
William Adams has not sat on the bench since the video went viral. It has been viewed more than 6 million times on YouTube.
The public outcry over the video was so great that in a rare move the, State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced publicly Nov. 2 that it had opened an investigation. A statement from the commission then said that it had been flooded with calls, emails and faxes regarding the video and Adams.
William Adams appeared in court Monday for a day-long hearing regarding the custody of his 10-year-old daughter. His wife had sought a change in their joint custody agreement, and another judge imposed a temporary restraining order effectively keeping William Adams from being alone with his younger daughter until he reached a decision. An order was expected in that dispute Wednesday.
As Aransas County’s top judge, William Adams has dealt with at least 349 family law cases in the past year alone, nearly 50 of which involved state caseworkers seeking determine whether parents were fit to raise their children. A visiting judge has been handling his caseload.
After reviewing the investigation conducted by local police, the Aransas County district attorney said too much time had passed to bring charges against William Adams.

Aransas County Court at Law Judge William Adams brutally attacked his disabled daughter with belts for over eight minutes to punish her for downloading music and games from the internet.
Unbelievably, Judge William Adams is a family court judge hearing family law, child abuse, and domesticc violence cases.
Please sign the petition to get this pathetic excuse of a man impeached….
Texas friend Denise asked me to post this link: https://www.change.org/petitions/texas-attorney-general-impeach-judge-william-adams. We must do everything we can to change Aransas County Court-At-Law Judge William Adams to just plain William Adams.
Judge Williams Adams’ daughter is now 23, and she posted this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl9y3SIPt7o
Judge William Adams took a belt to his own teenage daughter, Hillary, as punishment for using the internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time.
Hillary has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father’s backwards views.
The judge’s wife was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video. The judge’s wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist. Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can’t even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His “judgement” is a giant farce.
Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter.
Any woman, child, teen who has been beaten, abused, cursed and terrorized like this has every right to post all evidence documenting the abuse at any time, regardless of statutes or whatever.
This video has gone viral, attracting media and people from around the world. Over 6 million YouTube views at last count….
Texas public officials are in damage control and spin. The State Judicial Commission has published that it’s investigating this. This is, of course, a bad joke. The idea of having judges investigating their peers is outrageous. You can bet your boots we won’t see justice done from these bozos.
Jon Perri, Sr., Director Criminal Justice at Change.org, is working on this. Perri & Co. worked successfully to force Texas to stay the execution of convicted murderer Hank Adams (no relation to this scumbag William Adams) and force the Court to admit and review DNA evidence that may exonerate Skinner, who was slated to die by lethal injection on November 9, 2011.
Change.org is a non profit founded by a couple of Stanford grads as social advocates on and off line. Anyone can post a petition, and people sign! A woman posted the petition to get Bank of America to drop the $5.00 debit card fee which was signed by 300,000 people, forcing BOA to drop the fee!
Please share this link far and wide so that we will be able to get Judge William Adams off the Bench pronto. Let’s do all we can to help Texas Denise and Perri & Co. get this done!

News Reports:
Aransas County Court Judge, WIlliam Adams is in some serious trouble. After his daughter, Hillary, who has Ataxic Cerebral Palsy, grew tired of her father’s harassment and beatings, she decided to secretly record the abuse. The video, recorded in 2004 as reported by KRISTV is tough to stomach, so beware. This man’s job is to make decisions, the f*****g title of this man’s occupation is JUDGE! This particular beating was caused when Hillary, then 16, downloaded music on her computer. The mother, who takes a small active part in the beating is heard saying after the abuse has subsided, “don’t touch one other thing on your computer besides your schoolwork.â€
Here are some gems from Judge William Adams during the abuse:
When she cries and begs him to stop, he yells, “I should just keep beatin’ you and beatin’ youâ€
“If I hear so much as you raise your f*****g voice a little bit to me or your mother or use the wrong tone, I’ll take you in here and wear your fucking ass out with this belt, you understand me? You caused this with your dis-f*****g-obedience and you know I’m not gonna put up with it, don’t you?â€
Since the video was just recently posted on REDDIT, 7 years after the fact, Judge William Adams has a few things to say regarding the incident saying “It happened years ago, I apologized.†Adding insult to injury he then says, “It’s not as bad as it looks on tape.†Oh, the balls on this d-bag! He beats a 16 year old girl with a belt and then a board because she downloaded music and he has the nerve to say it wasn’t as bad as the TAPE makes it seem!
In newer comments made to KRISTV, the “DAD OF THE YEAR†continues defending his actions:
“She’s mad because I’ve ordered her to bring the car back, in a nutshell, but yeah that’s me, I lost my temper,†Adams told us.
“Her mother was there, she wasn’t hurt.. it was a long time ago.. I really don’t want to get into this right now because as you can see my life’s been made very difficult over this child.â€
Hallie Adams, Hillary’s mom, who is now the ex-wife of the judge, used Facebook to respond to the video, writing “I am praying for my daughters and me and my family to heal in all ways from emotional and physical abuse, for the current and continuing abuse of my children and me that has been ongoing to end – starting now – for my daughters to both finally be able to go to counseling both individually and as a family group with their Dad’s approval, encouragement, involvement and support, for him to finally make amends to all of us, talk openly with us, and take the first steps to letting our broken family heal.†She watched the abuse happen and even got in on it, I hope she faces criminal charges as well.
