D-FW Radio: Justin Frazell, Pleads Guilty To Sexual Assault Charges

Justin Frazell

A North Texas radio personality has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl in his home in Mansfield, according to the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office. 

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports Justin Barrett Frazell, a 48-year-old former host on Fort Worth’s KFWR 95.9 The Ranch, will serve seven years deferred adjudication, must register as a sex offender, cannot own any firearms and cannot use drugs or alcohol, according to the DA’s office. 

Frazell was arrested in March 2021 and indicted by a grand jury in November 2021.  In April 2021, he was arrested again in Denton County on a charge of indecent assault, a misdemeanor. He was released on $2,500 bail, jail records show. 

A warrant written by Mansfield Detective S. Peacock gave this brief account of the allegations: The Crossroads Lab Learn more about our editorial initiative exploring under-covered issues critical to the future of Fort Worth and Tarrant County. Several people were at Frazell’s Mansfield home on New Year’s Eve 2020 for the celebration. Adults were there along with teens who were allowed to drink, according to the warrant. Children also were at the home. The teens were hanging out in a bedroom when one of them was left alone in one of the rooms. That girl began to FaceTime with a friend, which lasted for hours. Her parents left the party, but she was allowed to stay overnight. At some point, Frazell entered the room, gave her a drink and said, “This is between us. Don’t say I never do anything for you,” according to the warrant. She drank a little of the White Claw (an alcoholic seltzer). She fell asleep, but the girl told Mansfield police that Frazell pulled off the blankets and committed sex acts on her without her consent, the warrant states.
