HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A 25-year-old Baytown woman has been charged over allegations that she used the internet to harass a registered sex offender and his family, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said.<\/p>\n
Darien Lombrana is accused of using social media to “harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, and embarrass” a registered sex offender, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Lombrana is out on bond after being charged with harassment and unlawful disclosure of an address.<\/p>\n
The sheriff’s office said she posted about the family “over and over” on social media sites and community pages.<\/p>\n
Additionally, court records show she posted their address online with the intent to cause harm.<\/p>\n
The victims in the case admitted to ABC13 that the man is a registered sex offender, but said the alleged harassment has impacted the entire family.<\/p>\n
They tell ABC13 that it includes children who were born decades after the man was placed on the registry.<\/p>\n
Court records say Lombrana’s actions have caused one family member to lose a job, another to get rejected from a college program, and another to get assaulted.<\/p>\n
Coby DuBose is a criminal attorney unaffiliated with this case, but he offered his legal analysis on the matter.<\/p>\n
He explained that the State of Texas has recently expanded its harassment statute to include things posted online.<\/p>\n
“Originally, the harassment law was just person-to-person communication; you had to send a text or an email,” he explained. “I think the law has tried to keep up with (online activity).”<\/p>\n
Lombrana is scheduled to appear in court on July 8.<\/p>\n
