A San Jacinto man deemed "The Ghost Hunter", a serial rapist was sentenced Friday 8/12/2022 in San Jacinto County to 10 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. David Lynn Turner, a former Texas reserve peace officer sexually assaulted at least two women. Investigators said once Turner had these women alone and in the dark at the supposed haunted house, he physically intimidated them. “In fact, two of the victims said they would have done anything because at that point they were in survival mode, afraid for their very lives. They didn’t know what was going to happen next. One victim told us she didn’t want to end up in an ice cooler on the side of the road for us to find later,” said Deputy Tony Madison with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department. More have now come forward but Prosecutor Rob Freyer said to save them from having to testify they did a 10-year plea bargain. After Turner had been arrested for the sexual assault he bonded out and then tried to lure a Houston woman to the county on the pretense of Ghost Hunting. Sending explicit photos of himself and harassing her the Judge learned of this and revoked his bond After he was sentenced today one of the victims gave a tearful victim impact statement of how he violated her. Authorities said other possible cases spanned across the greater Southeast Texas region with potential victims in the areas of Beaumont, Galveston, Katy, The Woodlands, Coldspring, and Livingston.
