Texas state law only allows someone to be charged with such a serious felony "if the actor's intent in committing the offense was to defraud or harm another."

(Houston, TX)—The lead investigator behind the undercover Planned Parenthood videos faces up to 20 years in prison after a Houston grand jury decided on Monday not to charge Planned Parenthood with any wrongdoing—and instead indicted him for offering to purchase human organs from the abortion provider.

Center for Medical Progress lead investigator David Daleiden faces a second-degree felony charge of "tampering with a governmental record," and a misdemeanor charge for violating the state's "prohibition of the purchase and sale of human organs."

That is, jurors in the state of Texas are accusing David Daleiden of trying to illegally traffic in aborted babies' body parts.

The jurors pressed the same charges against Sandra Merritt, who claimed to be "Susan Tennenbaum," the CEO of BioMax, on its incorporation papers.

Texas state law only allows someone to be charged with such a serious felony "if the actor's intent in committing the offense was to defraud or harm another."

That felony charge alone carries a punishment of not less than two, and not more than 20 years in prison, and a fine of up to $10,000.

Ironically, the investigation began after Daleiden and Merritt posed as business associates eager to pay Planned Parenthood to furnish human body parts that its fictitious company would use in scientific experiments—something they hoped would expose the abortion industry's criminal wrongdoing.
