Derrick Dion Christopher, 38, described by the Texas Department of Public Safety as a high-risk sex offender, has been added to the state's list of the 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders.
Christopher, last seen in Fort Worth, is well acquainted with the criminal justice system. In 2007, he was accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl in Tarrant County, though the charge was later reduced to indecency with a child, according to DPS. But his charges date back more than a decade. In 1994, Christopher was convicted of deadly conduct after discharging a firearm. In 1995, he was sentenced to five years in prison on a drug charge. He was paroled in 1998. Later that year, he was again arrested on a drug charge and sentenced to two years confinement and five years probation. In 2000, DPS reports that he heated a bottle cap and burnt the tops of two juveniles' feet bad enough that they needed hospital treatment. He was sentenced to five years in prison related to that account.
In 2010, the Fort Worth Police Department issued a warrant for his arrest for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. Up to a $3,000 reward is offered for his capture. Call 1-800-252-TIPS (8477) with information on Christopher.

In my world, you show your pecker to an 11 year old girl one time and your dangerous...forever. He's a bad dude anyway, got lots of other crimes to his credit. RSODL indeed, 95% of rattle snakes want to slither away under the rocks...you gonna take that chance that you won't get bit? I didn't think so.

no such thing as an ex offender.....you either are or you arent a piece of trash.....he is trash...and my guess is that you are too

RSODL you must be a sex offender yourself to post something like that. The man's a scumbag and didn't follow the terms of his probation. He should have been sent to prison when he was convicted. My constitutional rights and those of my children and grandchildren outweigh this pig's right to be free. Your's also. The only reason I can think of defending someone like this is because you're him or you're another sex offender.

Wow RSODL... I think you should be more accurate when you are demanding accuracy! Sex offenders have a very high recidivism rate, depending on how you break it down categorically (age, type of offense). This man obviously has some ISSUES if he's burning kids' feet, don't you think? If you have to be ashamed, and hide, don't commit the offense, duh!

The constitution wasn't made for to protect perverts that severly scar other people for life. We have to protect ourselves against these types of people.

The only rehabilitated sex offender is a dead sex offender.
