Honk News (Comal County, TX) – Texas marked a significant milestone as the first woman was designated a sexually violent predator, following her conviction over ten years ago for the physical and psychological abuse of two teenage girls, according to prosecutors.
Desiree Hamm, 37, has been given a reprehensible label due to the 13 convictions she accumulated in 2011 after admitting guilt to multiple sexual offenses involving minors, according to a statement from the Comal County District Attorney’s Office.
Hamm, from San Diego, faced an investigation in 2009 for developing online connections with two teenagers, during which she swiftly manipulated and exploited the girls through “role-playing games” that took a sexual turn, according to the district attorney’s office.
Prosecutors claim she manipulated both girls through extensive phone and computer interactions, leading them to perceive the game as their actual reality.
Hamm also advanced a false sexual assault claim against the victims’ parent and even covertly sent cell phones, computers, pills, and gifts to gain additional control.

She monitored the young individuals via webcam prior to orchestrating their abduction from Texas to California, enlisting the assistance of another woman whom she allegedly manipulated.
The perpetrator held the two individuals captive for a month, during which they were subjected to sexual assault and various forms of abuse, both physical and psychological, according to prosecutors.
The brutality was so shocking that she even marked both of them to correspond with her tattoo, according to prosecutors.
After the families of the missing girls reached out to Hamm by reviewing phone records, she denied having any involvement.
The two girls were ultimately saved, leading to Hamm’s arrest and subsequent sentencing of 20 years in prison, followed by an additional ten years of probation.
In Texas, regulations require that inmates with a minimum of two sexually violent offenses approaching their release undergo evaluation for a civil commitment program aimed at offering extended treatment and oversight for sex offenders.
Last week, a jury concluded that Hamm should be the inaugural female participant in the program since its inception in 1999, following expert testimonies indicating she would likely re-offend if reintegrated into society, according to prosecutors.

A forensic psychologist, Dr. Jason Dunham, informed jurors that she resembled a leader of a cult.
In the meantime, Hamm revealed that she persisted with her “role play games” via correspondence with pen pals in prison and acknowledged that she had been dishonest during all of her expert interviews. According to prosecutors, she displayed minimal accountability for her actions.
Upon her release from prison, Hamm will be moved to the Texas Civil Commitment Office and will remain in the city of Littlefield for an unspecified duration. The district attorney announced that the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole has granted her early release from prison.
