Atascosa Child Molester Goes to Prison

Back in 2013 and 2014, David Hebert was charged with Aggravated Sexual Assault for two children who were under 10 years old, and Sexual Assault of a 14 yr old child. Under the prior DA administration, in 2016 Hebert was given a plea bargain of 10 years deferred adjudication for Indecency with a Child by Exposure for each of the cases. Hebert violated his conditions of probation, and in February 2023 our office moved to revoke his probation. Hebert admitted to failing to register as a sex offender, a violation of his probation, and asked the court to allow him to remain on probation. One of our courageous victims testified and asked the court for justice. Our office asked for the maximum sentence for each victim’s case and that each sentence run consecutively, meaning Hebert must serve the sentence for each case separately. Judge Dillingham sentenced Hebert to the maximum of 10 years in prison on each case, running them consecutively. While still less than Hebert deserves for what he has done, we are grateful to have Hebert in prison where he belongs, and I am proud that our office fought for our victims. Thank you to Community Supervision Officer Brittany Ibarra for her hard work on the presentence investigation report, and to prosecutors Ryan Wright and Erika Price for their dedication to protecting our community from child predators.
