A woman agreed to a plea deal with a relative who abused her as a child under the condition that he is a 'lifetime' registered sex offender. A decade later, he may be eligible to get off that list.
Destiny Herrera was just 12 years old when she says her then 19-year-old half-brother, Edward Herrera, began sexually abusing her.Destiny Herrera was just 12 years old when she says her then 19-year-old half-brother Edward Herrera began sexually abusing her.At age 13, Destiny Herrera reported the abuse, and a self-described downward spiral began. She made multiple suicide attempts.
This year, at age 22, Destiny Herrera was informed that Edward Herrera was attempting to be removed from the list. "As per Articles 62.401-62.408 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, there is a process for registries to be taken off the Sex Offenders Registry. This particular offense, indecency with a child , is one of the types of offenses where deregistration is allowed," she added.
Still, she is considering pursuing charges she left on the table during the plea deal in an attempt to quash the deregistration attempts. She said this is the first time in her 25 years practicing in Wharton County that a sex offender has attempted to deregister.
