Son of former Kendleton mayor charged with sexual assaulting teens in emergency shelter owned by mom

In Rosenberg, Texas, Darryl Humphrey Jr., son of the former Kendleton mayor Darryl Humphrey Sr., now finds himself facing serious criminal charges. Court records from Fort Bend County indicate that on June 6, the 44-year-old Humphrey Jr. is accused of photographing and sexually assaulting two teenage girls inside the ADIEE Emergency Shelter. This shelter, which provides behavioral health services, is reportedly owned by his mother, Angela Humphrey. The incident came to light after the victims sought help from a case worker. While the Rosenberg Police are actively investigating, they have stated they are unsure about Humphrey Jr.'s official role or connection to the shelter. Further digging by ABC13 revealed that the ADIEE Shelter's Facebook page lists both Humphrey Jr. and his mother next to the page name, with Humphrey Jr. being tagged in nearly every post. His own Facebook profile also claims he is a co-owner of the shelter. A councilwoman from Kendleton confirmed that Humphrey Jr. had previously appeared before the city council representing himself as co-owner. However, state comptroller records name only Angela Humphrey as the owner. When contacted, Angela's daughter answered and stated that her brother had not been involved with the shelter for a long time and is no longer affiliated, but she declined to provide further comment. Authorities visited the address linked to Humphrey Jr. in court documents but found no one willing to answer the door despite sounds coming from inside. Meanwhile, the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) confirmed that at the time of the alleged crimes, four children were living at the shelter, all of whom have since been removed for their safety. The DFPS investigation results have been forwarded to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which oversees licensing and regulation of childcare operations. This isn't Humphrey Jr.'s first run-in with the law. Earlier this year, he was charged in Harris County with soliciting a prostitute, a case that was eventually dismissed after he completed an eight-hour course and performed ten hours of community service. Now, he faces multiple felony child sex crime charges in Fort Bend County. Humphrey Jr. is scheduled to appear back in court in early December to address these allegations. The fallout from these accusations has left the community and authorities grappling with questions about oversight and the safety of vulnerable children placed in behavioral health shelters. With the shelter entangled in controversy and legal scrutiny, the fate of ADIEE Emergency Shelter and its operational future remain uncertain as investigations continue.
