GALVESTON COUNTY, Texas — A Houston Police Department captain who is accused of possessing child pornography and sexually assaulting a young girl nearly 100 times has been released on bond, according to court documents.
Daryn Edwards, 59, faces three charges, including sexual performance of a child, aggravated sexual assault, and possession of child pornography. He’s a 32-year veteran of HPD and served as the captain of the auto theft division.
