First woman receives sexually violent predator designation in Texas history as expert compares her to a cult leader

In Texas history, the first woman was labeled a sexually violent predator on Thursday. She had been found guilty over a decade ago for physically and mentally harming two teenage girls, according to prosecutors.

The designation of sexually violent predator was assigned to 37-year-old Desiree Hamm. This label was a result of 13 convictions she received in 2011 after admitting to committing various sexual offenses against minors. This information was provided by the Comal County District Attorney’s Office in a news release.

Desiree Hamm, hailing from San Diego, came under investigation for her interactions with two teenage girls in 2009. It was uncovered that she had engaged in online relationships with the teens and proceeded to manipulate and exploit them through sexual role-playing games, as stated by the district attorney’s office.

She brainwashed both girls after hours on the phone and over the computer to the point that they believed the game was reality, according to prosecutors.

Hamm also pushed a bogus sexual assault allegation against the victims’ parent and even secretly mailed cell phones, computers, pills and gifts to attain further control.

She would watch the minors on webcam before she arranged their kidnapping from Texas to California with the help of another woman she reportedly brainwashed.

The sicko controlled the pair for a month in which she sexually assaulted and abused them — both physically and mentally, prosecutors said.

The cruelty was so depraved she even branded both of them to match her tattoo, prosecutors said.

When the missing girls’ families contacted Hamm after looking up phone records, the creep denied she had them.

The two girls were eventually rescued and Hamm was arrested and later sentenced to 20 years in prison and another ten years on probation.

Texas law dictates inmates with at least two sexually violent offenses who are nearing prison release be screened for the state’s sexually violent predator civil commencement program that provides long-term sex offender treatment and supervision.

A jury determined last week that Hamm should be the first female committed to the program since the classification’s creation in 1999 after hearing from experts who claimed she would re-offend if released back into society, prosecutors said.

One forensic psychologist, Dr. Jason Dunham, told jurors she was akin to a cult leader.  

Meanwhile, Hamm testified she continued her “role play games” through pen pals in prison and admitted to lying in all of her expert interviews. She also took little responsibility for her crimes, prosecutors said.

When Hamm is released from prison, she will be transferred to the Texas Civil Commitment Office and has an indefinite stay in the city of Littlefield. The Texas Board of Pardons and Parole approved her early release from prison, the district attorney said.

“It has been a historical week for Texas, and I am grateful for the jury’s verdict,” District Attorney Jennifer Tharp said in a statement.
