Judge Lets Sex Offenders Walk Free — Then Throws the Book at Mom

Minnesota Judge Christa Daily sentenced mother Shiloh Hendrix to 200 days of community service and a $1,000 fine for saying a racial slur — but she’s let convicted sex offenders walk free with little to no jail time.

Hendrix, 37, was convicted Thursday of disorderly conduct after a viral confrontation at a Rochester park in 2025. The incident began when a child allegedly reached into her diaper bag and stole her son’s belongings. When a Somali man, Sharmake Omar, followed her around the playground filming her and making accusations, Hendrix gave him the middle finger and used the n-word in response.

Omar himself was charged with raping a 16-year-old girl in 2022. Prosecutors dismissed the case “in the interests of justice” in March 2025.

“It was like I was fighting the prosecutor and the judge.”

Hendrix’s attorney, Brian Karalus, is appealing the ruling. He told reporters the trial felt rigged from the start.

But while Daily took a hard line on Hendrix’s speech, her record on actual predators tells a different story.

In January 2023, Thomas Lee Meyer was convicted of possessing child pornography. Investigators found “several child sexual abuse images of juveniles ranging in age from 6 to 8 years old” at Meyer’s home. Meyer admitted to police he “viewed thousands” of such images on his phone.

Minnesota law carries a maximum 10-year sentence and $10,000 fine for possessing child sexual abuse material when the victim is under 14. Instead, Daily allowed a plea deal that dismissed six felony charges and stayed imposition on the remaining four — meaning Meyer could complete probation, a sex offender program, and 100 days of community service and have his felonies reduced to misdemeanors.

Meyer served zero jail time.

Later that year, Daily sentenced Paul Alan Collopy to just 30 days at a detention center after he pled guilty to sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl multiple times from 2021 to 2022. Collopy, 64, was allowed to leave detention for work and was subject to home monitoring for 30 days after release.

The pattern continued into 2024.

In August, Daily sentenced Tommy Tongsengzeng Yang to two years of supervised probation and a $3,373 fine. Yang, a Rochester community volleyball organizer, was originally charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct — which carries a 15-year maximum sentence and $30,000 fine under Minnesota law.

Instead, Yang pled guilty to fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct and served no jail time.

According to the criminal complaint, Yang sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl “several times in public parking lots around Rochester.” The teenager told Yang “no” multiple times during different encounters and allegedly sustained visible abrasions during one assault.

Yang walked with probation.

In another case, Daily sentenced Amber Ann Wenger to probation after Wenger was convicted of sexually assaulting two patients at inpatient treatment facilities. Wenger pled guilty to an amended fifth-degree charge in December 2024 — while already serving five years of probation for a nearly identical case.

Wenger faced charges involving penetration, prohibited occupational relationship, and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact. Daily sentenced her to house arrest for five years, allowing her to continue working. After the second guilty plea, Daily granted a “stay of imposition” — meaning Wenger’s conviction could be reduced if she completes another five-year probation without incident.

Hendrix could serve up to 90 days in jail if she violates her probation.

The same judge who let predators walk free is ready to lock up a mother for words.
