Earl Worden (Texas Public Sex Offender)
HOUSTON – A Houston area man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a child in 2002, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
Earl Worden is known for dozens of YouTube videos criticizing law enforcement and testing the limits of where he can bring his camera. Many of his interactions were captured on video.
Deer Park police were investigating an unrelated matter in 2017 when they obtained additional information about the 2002 case.
Houston police reopened the investigation and obtained enough information to bring charges.
Worden is already a convicted sex offender.
