BEAUMONT — A 19-year-old Nederland man has been sentenced to 10 years probation as part of a plea agreement regarding charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child, age 12.

Wyatt Hammer agreed to the plea agreement in Judge Raquel West’s 252^nd District Court this week.

He originally faced four charges in all, three for aggravated sexual assault of a child and one for indecency with a child.

One indecency charge and one aggravated sexual assault charge were dismissed, according to information from the court.

Hammer was also assessed a $500 fine for each of the two charges. Conditions of his probation forbid him to have any social media accounts.

If he violates any of the terms of the probation he would have to serve both 10 years for both charges.

Hammer was 18 at the time the incidents occurred.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Wyatt Kaden Hammer met the alleged victim at the Nederland Independent School District Alternative Campus, and the reported sexual assaults occurred in early April 2023.

The crimes were reported May 22, 2023.

The document stated the two left the Alternative Campus after school and walked to a church at 2711 Helena Avenue in Nederland, where one of the assaults occurred.

Two other assaults occurred at Hammer’s home in Nederland, according to the document.

The alleged victim made the outcry to a relative, and a sexual assault exam was conducted at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont.

The female told police she did not want to take part in the sex acts, but the male coaxed her to do them. Hammer reportedly made a statement to police saying he did perform the sex acts but denied claims he hit, slapped, choked or called her degrading names during the incidents.

Hammer was arrested on the charges May 24, 2023.
