Children’s Safe Harbor
Sexual & Physical Abuse of Children
Special Victims Team: Fighting for the Most Vulnerable
The Special Victims Team is dedicated to protecting children and pursuing justice in cases involving sexual and physical abuse. Based at Children’s Safe Harbor in Conroe, Texas, our prosecutors and investigators work side-by-side with a multi-disciplinary team of experts to hold offenders accountable and ensure victims get the support they need to heal.
Children’s Safe Harbor is a nationally accredited, non-profit children’s advocacy center that provides a safe, child-focused environment for victims and their families. By bringing law enforcement, prosecutors, medical professionals, and counselors together under one roof, Safe Harbor makes it possible for families to receive critical services and participate in investigations — all in one compassionate, centralized location.
Through this partnership, we not only seek justice for victims, but also help them reclaim safety, dignity, and hope for the future.

Alarming Statistics
The statistics are alarming with 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will become sexually abused before their 18th birthday. This is why the Montgomery County District Attorney’s office is committed to fighting child abuse.
The public does a good job of warning our children about “stranger danger”, but, in most instances – the danger is in the home. Statistics show that only around 2% of the time does sexual abuse involve a stranger. That means approximately 98% of the sexual abuse of children is perpetrated by family members or someone known to the child.
