Huen to serve 20 years in prison for sex offense

A Shreveport man with a history of sex offenses, convicted in Caddo District Court January 13, 2026, will serve 20 years in prison for failure to register as a sex offender.

District Judge Chris Victory sentenced Robert Emmett Huen, 74, Tuesday, February 24, 2026, to the maximum term, to be served at hard labor without the benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence. 

Originally convicted of simple rape on October 10, 1989, Huen is a tier 3 sex offender required by law to check-in in-person with the sheriff’s office in his parish of residence every 14 days. His last 14-day check-in was on January 10, 2024. His last quarterly check-in was on November 7, 2023. This was the second time Huen has failed to properly register as a sex offender, having previously been convicted of failure to register as a sex offender on February 23, 2023.

Huen was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Sean Fore and Courtney N. Ray. He was defended by Michael Enright and Katie Miller.

The case was docket No. 404466.
