Man Sentenced in Caddo Court to Prison and Chemical Castration

A Bossier City man convicted in September of sexual offenses against a teenaged disabled girl must serve a century in prison.

Part of the sentencing called for the man to be chemically castrated and register as a sex offender, a Caddo Parish judge ruled Wednesday.

Citing Derrick Boyd's lengthy history of sex crimes, the District Judge sentenced him to 75 years in prison for molestation of a person with mental or physical disabilities, and to 25 years in prison for second-degree rape. The terms are to be served at hard labor and consecutively, totaling 100 years.

The Judge also ordered that the sentences be served without the benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence. And granted the state's request for chemical castration.

Boyd will also have to register as a sex offender for life for the second degree rape. He also must register as a sex offender for 25 years for the molestation of a person with mental or physical disabilities.

Boyd was found guilty of second-degree rape and molestation of a person with disabilities last month. The victim reported the attack to police on back in 2025.

Detectives took the victim to the Gingerbread House, the local child advocacy center, for a forensic interview. During the interview, she told Police and counselors that Boyd, her mother’s boyfriend, had covered her mouth and sexually assaulted her while her mother slept. The child repeatedly told Boyd to stop and that she was uncomfortable and scared.

The victim has multiple disabilities such as autism, anxiety and depression, of which Boyd was aware. Prosecutors also called a previous victim who was sexually assaulted by Boyd in 2019 in Bossier Parish. That victim was 12 at the time of that assault. Testimony revealed that this victim also suffered from cognitive issues similar to the other victim.

From the Caddo DA:

"Assistant District Attorneys Chase Burgess, Victoria Washington and Rachel Hughes prosecuted Boyd. He was represented by the Caddo Parish Public Defenders office.

The case was docket No. 407739."
