They had a good article on this on CNN yesterday.
The real reason for the lack of charges is that A. she was 16 years old when it happened. In Texas the law defines a child as being 14 years old or younger and B. In that state the statute of limitations is 5 years and it had expired.
There was also stuff saying that the father feels she has gone public with this because he has cut back on how much he supports her financially and is taking away the Mercedes she drives and she is pissed. She claims that she supports herself with occasional help from him and that this was a decision she made after talking to her mom.
Sounds like a pretty messed up family.
