Child Rapist Questioned In 1990 Sexual Assault Case
A known child rapist was taken back to Dallas County for questioning in a 1990 child sexual assault. A deaf man was wrongly convicted in the case, and served 17 years before being freed last month because of DNA evidence. Police are now questioning Robert Warterfield about this and several other sexual crimes victimizing children. Warterfield, who is a registered sex offender, pled guilty in 1994 to sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl. He received ten years probation but when he violated the terms, he was given a ten-year prison stretch. Since being released, Warterfield has been living in Stephenville.
