(Galveston, Texas) In December 2005, a woman rented an apartment and found a videotape in the kitchen cabinet which showed a man engaging in a variety of sex acts with two very young children. Subsequently, the previous tenant, long-haul truck driver Darryl Hinds, 36, was arrested in South Carolina and returned to Texas to face charges. Yesterday, Hinds was convicted by a jury.
From Chron.com:
A man who authorities said videotaped himself molesting an 11-month-old girl and a 2-year-old boy was found guilty today of aggravated sexual assault of a child, promotion of child pornography and sexual performance by a child.Hinds asked the jury to place him on probation. Prosecutor Jennifer Ott will argue for the prison terms to be stacked. I agree that the sentences should be consecutive. Hinds shouldn't be allowed on the streets of the United States for a long, long time.
Darrell Anthony Hinds, 37, was sentenced to 14 years in prison on the assault charge, 10 years on the promotion charge and 10 years probation on the sexual performance charge. Jurors found Hinds not guilty on one count of indecency with a child by contact.
State District Judge Neil Caldwell, who presided over the trial, will formally impose the jury's sentences Monday and determine whether the prison terms will be served concurrently or consecutively, the Galveston County District Attorney's Office said.
