Former Kendleton Mayor's Son Accused of Child Sex Crimes at Family-Owned Shelter
The son of a former mayor in Texas is facing serious charges after allegations surfaced that he sexually assaulted two teenage girls at a behavioral health shelter owned by his mother. Darryl Humphrey Jr., 44, was photographed and accused of committing the crimes on June 6 at the ADIEE Emergency Shelter in Rosenberg.
According to court records, Humphrey Jr. has been charged with multiple felony child sex crimes. The investigation into the incident began when two teenage girls went to a case worker for help after discovering what had happened. Police are still investigating how Humphrey Jr.'s involvement with the shelter came about.
Records show that Humphrey Jr. is listed as a co-owner of the ADIEE Shelter on its Facebook page, and he has also represented himself as the owner to local officials. However, his mother, Angela Humphrey, has denied any affiliation with the shelter in recent months.
The investigation into the shelter revealed that four children were present at the time of the alleged incident, but all had been removed from the facility. The Department of Family and Protective Services had previously investigated the shelter, which was found to have inadequate safeguards in place for its residents.
Humphrey Jr.'s past has also raised eyebrows, with a previous solicitation charge being dismissed after he completed community service. He is set to appear back in court in early December to face his current charges.
This case raises serious concerns about the oversight of children's facilities and the accountability of those who run them. The incident also highlights the ongoing struggle for victims' voices to be heard, particularly when it comes to sensitive issues like child sex crimes.

. I mean, can you believe that the son of a former mayor was running a shelter where he allegedly assaulted two teens? It's just not right. And what's even more messed up is that his mom denied any affiliation with the shelter just months ago 
. The fact that four kids were present at the time of the incident but had already been removed from the facility just goes to show how broken the system can be.
. It's just heartbreaking to think about the two girls who went through this 
.
It's wild how he got away with it for so long. And poor innocent kids who were supposed to be getting help at the shelter... 
Like why would she do that? And now the whole thing is just a big mess 
This is super disturbing. I mean, I'm not surprised that some rich person with connections would try to hide behind their family name and fake their way into a position of power. But the fact that they own this shelter and have access to all these vulnerable kids is just crazy. 
What's even more messed up is that he's got a rep for being a good guy in the community, which makes it even harder to believe how far down the rabbit hole he's fallen.
Meanwhile, the real victims are still waiting for justice.
. I'm glad the girls were able to get help and report what happened, it's a huge step in holding someone accountable.
. As a co-owner and supposed owner of the shelter, he had a responsibility to ensure the safety of those in his care. Instead, he took advantage of their trust and exploited them 
. And I think it's time for us to demand more from our children's facilities and services 
. We need stricter regulations and better safeguards in place to protect these vulnerable individuals 
this is just getting worse and worse... someone needs to get to the bottom of how the shelter got away with so little accountability in the first place 
the fact that he listed himself as co-owner and represented himself as owner to local officials is just red flag after red flag... how did this go unnoticed for so long?! 
This is just shocking - I mean, how can one person, especially someone with a family background as influential as that, get away with such heinous crimes? 
And now four kids were living in a place with inadequate safeguards and no one knew about it until these girls spoke out? It's just disgusting.
