CASE:  Derrold Barry (Case #24FE018483)

PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney Kelly Clark, Adult Sexual Assault Prosecution

On August 15, 2025, the Honorable Laurel White sentenced Derrold Barry to 26 years in prison.  On April 10, 2025, a jury convicted Barry of forcible rape, four counts of lewd act upon a child, forcible oral copulation and two counts of violating a court order.

Over a two-and-a-half-month period, Barry sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl. The victim did not tell her family about the abuse, but she did disclose to a stranger she reached to on social media.  The victim’s mother eventually found out about the abuse and immediately reported it to police and got a protective order for Barry to stay away from the victim.  Barry violated the protective order on numerous occasions.
