Police say the man sexually assaulted a woman he met on a dating app in February, while he was being investigated, for the alleged sexual assault of a child, on Halloween.
Friday, May 22, 2026 3:22AM"It's okay. It's okay," a woman said to herself through tears while watching 26-year-old Keith Headd appear in court again, years after he pleaded guilty in connection with an attack against her.
The woman, who ABC13 is not identifying, said she did not feel relief seeing Headd in an orange jail uniform. Instead, she said she felt frustrated for other alleged victims. Headd was charged this week after investigators accused him of sexually assaulting a woman at gunpoint on Feb. 19. According to authorities, the two met through a dating app.
"We met randomly on social media. He started following me one day. We just started talking from there," she said. She said conversations eventually led to plans to meet in person.
According to court records, after Headd drove her home, he asked her to perform a sexual act in his vehicle. She said she refused.
"It got quiet, and that's when he started reaching for his side, and said, 'If you scream, I will kill you,' and at that point I just started fighting for my life," she said. "Once he put the gun to my head, I put my finger on the barrel. You can shoot my finger off, but I ain't gonna let you shoot my face off," she added.
Court records show Headd pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in 2023 and was ordered to serve seven years of community supervision. According to court documents, Headd was still on probation when he was accused of sexually assaulting another woman in February. Records also state the alleged February assault occurred while Headd was under investigation in a separate case involving the alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl.
Deputies allege Headd met the girl through Instagram and arranged an Uber to pick her up around Halloween. Investigators accuse him of sexually assaulting her after they met. Amy Smith with the Harris County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council said sexual violence investigations often take months because of multiple steps in the process.
"By the time they call law enforcement, then law enforcement is going to have them go to a hospital to get an exam, and depending on how long that takes, they'll then want to do a forensic interview with the victim," she said. ABC13 reached out to the Harris County Sheriff's Office to ask whether investigators believe there could be additional victims.
