A manhunt is underway in Texas for a convicted sex offender who escaped from prison on Sunday, authorities said.
Robert Yancy Jr., 39, escaped at about 3:38 p.m. from the Clemens Unit in Brazoria, where he was serving a life sentence without parole for continuous sexual abuse of a child out of Victoria County, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said.
Yancy was last seen in a white Nissan Versa with his mother, Lenor Priestle, the Brazoria County Pct. 4 Constable’s Office said in a post on social media.
Deputies immediately entered the vehicle’s license plate into a state-wide license plate reader system and got a hit at around 6:09 p.m., indicating the vehicle was in Victoria County, where authorities say Priestle has an address.

“All information obtained at this point leads us to believe Yancy is no longer in Brazoria County,” the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office said.
Just before 8:30 p.m., the Victoria Police Department said officers stopped a white Nissan in the 100 block of Sam Houston Drive in connection with the escaped inmate.
A female driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, had an outstanding felony warrant related to Yancy’s escape, police said. She was taken into custody, though police did not immediately release her identity.

Authorities asked anyone with information about Yancy’s whereabouts to contact the Office of Inspector General at 1-800-832-8477.
The Sarasota Police Department is currently running a criminal investigation over allegations of sexual battery against Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler.
As of Thursday, police confirmed that investigators have not charged Ziegler with any crimes yet.
Police released a heavily redacted report, obscuring details about the accusations, but claiming it involved a rape allegation against Ziegler.
The complaint was filed Oct. 4, and stated that the alleged sexual battery occurred inside a woman’s Sarasota home on Oct. 2, according to the report. Among words not redacted in the report are “rape” and “sexual assault complaint.”
Earlier on Thursday, Ziegler’s attorney, Derek Byrd, released a statement to FOX 13 Tampa Bay acknowledging the reports of the investigation, saying that Ziegler has fully cooperated with the police requests.
“We are confident that once the police investigation is concluded that no charges will be filed and Mr. Ziegler will be completely exonerated,” Byrd said in a statement.
The Republican Party of Sarasota County also released a statement Thursday:
“We are shocked and disappointed to hear of the reports concerning Republican Party of Florida Chair and Sarasota County State Committeeman Christian Ziegler, and his wife, Sarasota County School Board Member Bridget Ziegler. The Republican Party takes all such allegations of potential criminal conduct very seriously and will fully cooperate with investigators.”

The Florida Democratic Party has also called on Ziegler to step down as the GOP chairman.
“This is serious. We demand his immediate resignation,” Nikki Fried, chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, posted on X.
Ziegler is the head of the Florida GOP and the husband of Sarasota school board member Bridget Ziegler, who is also a co-founder of Moms for Liberty.
“Bridget was an original founder of Moms for Liberty, but she stepped back from the organization’s board in 2021. We have learned long ago to not believe everything we read online, and we are confident she will get to tell her side of things to those who are interested in more than clickbait,” Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, Moms for Liberty Founders told Fox News Digital.
According to the Florida Center for Government Accountability, Christian Ziegler has deep-rooted ties to both Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Trump, who called out Ziegler’s name in a recent speech earlier this month during the “Florida Freedom Summit” in Kissimmee, and said he was doing a “fantastic job.”
Bill Cosby was accused of sexual battery and false imprisonment in a new civil complaint filed in Los Angeles.
The disgraced comedian, 86, allegedly “drugged and raped” accuser Donna Motsinger in 1972 while she was working as a server at The Trident, a popular restaurant in Sausalito, Calif.
Motsinger also filed the complaint against Cosby’s production company, Jemmin, Inc., as well as the Circle Star Theater, for “failing to ensure the safety of its guests at the hands of its performers,” in documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
“Jemmin, Inc. is vicariously liable for Mr. Cosby’s sexual battery as Jemmin, Inc. authorized and ratified the sexual battery through Mr. Cosby himself,” documents stated. In addition, Motsinger’s suit said “Jemmin, Inc. is guilty of fraud, oppression, and malice for the sexual battery of Ms. Motsinger at the hands of Cosby.”
BILL COSBY HIT WITH NEW ACCUSATION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT BY FORMER INTERN FOR HIS SITCOM
Cosby’s representatives did not have a comment to provide Fox News Digital.
Motsinger said Cosby, a regular at The Trident, “followed her” home one night and asked her to go to one of his shows at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, Calif. He picked her up in a limousine, and gave her a “glass of wine in the limo along the way,” docs stated.
Cosby was allegedly filming his comedy stand-up act for “Inside the Mind of Bill Cosby,” the complaint said.
She claimed that Cosby took her to the dressing room, where “she began to feel sick and Mr. Cosby gave her what she believed was an aspirin.”
“Next thing she knew, she was going in and out of consciousness while two men attending to Mr. Cosby were putting her in the limousine with Mr. Cosby,” the complaint stated. “In the limousine, Mr. Cosby sat near the window and put his arms around her. The last thing Ms. Motsinger recalls were flashes of light.”

Motsinger claimed she “woke up in her house with all her clothes off, except her underwear on – no top, no bra, and no pants. She knew she had been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby.”
She said that due to the sexual battery, she “suffered economic and noneconomic damages to the maximum extent allowed by law, including but not limited to the lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and any other remedy available at law.”
Motsinger also waged allegations against the Circle Star Theater, who “chose not to intervene” when she claimed to be unconscious.
“At the theater, Ms. Motsinger was so drugged and sedated that she was going in and out of consciousness by the time she left in Mr. Cosby’s limousine,” documents stated. “Employees and agents of Circle Star Theater knew or should have known of the dangerous drugged and sedated state that Ms. Motsinger was in and should have rendered care and aid to Ms. Motsinger.”
She seeks unspecified damages economic, non-economic and punitive damages.

Motsinger was one of the 12 anonymous “Jane Does” who testified in a 2005 civil rape case filed against Cosby by former Temple University athletics director Andrea Constand. The case was osettledut of court one year later.
Cosby was released from prison in 2021 after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated his 2018 criminal conviction for sexual assault.
The disgraced actor, once known as “America’s Dad,” served more than two years of his three-to-10-year sentence after he was convicted of drugging and molesting a woman at his Cheltenham, Pa. home in 2004.
The state’s highest court threw out Cosby’s conviction after finding that District Attorney Kevin Steele, the prosecutor who brought the case against Cosby, violated an agreement to not charge him that previous District Attorney Bruce Castor had made in 2005, though the deal had apparently never been put in writing.
Best known for “The Cosby Show,” the actor maintained his innocence. He had been denied parole in May 2021.
In June 2022, Jurors found Cosby sexually abused Judith Huth, who accused the former comedian of sexual assault at the Playboy mansion in 1975 when she was a teen.
Former Playboy model, Victoria Valentino, now 52, filed a lawsuit against Cosby in June, and claimed Cosby drugged and raped her in 1969. The model has previously spoken about her allegations against the comedian and even appeared at his sentencing in 2021.
