This former A- list singer in his corner of the singing world is literally using his release from jail from raping a 13 year old relative as the name of his tour.

He raped a 13 year old and people can’t buy tickets to his shows fast enough.

Tejano singer convicted of rape preparing for comeback tour

A Tejano singer who was convicted of raping an underage female relative and imprisoned for more than a decade is preparing to relaunch his career with a sold-out show in Houston, despite the original terms of his release barring him from visiting the city and surrounding county because the victim lives there.

Jose “Joe” Lopez, 69, served 12 years of his 20-year sentence for raping his then-13-year-old niece in 2004 in Rancho Viejo, a small town outside Brownsville. He was released in March 2018 under several conditions, including that he register as a sex offender and that he not visit Harris County, which is where his niece lives. Lopez has maintained his innocence.

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles decided last week to allow Lopez to enter the county “solely for employment purposes,” according to the board’s spokesman, Raymond Estrada.

In making the decision, the parole panel reviewed his satisfactory compliance with parole since his release date of March 2018. Additionally, the board recognizes the importance of employment as being a critical component to successful reentry for offenders, and if public safety is not compromised, we support such initiatives.” — Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles spokesman Raymond Estrada

Public safety advocates have criticized the move. – Source
