A transgender woman who identifies as a vampire has been convicted of sexually assaulting a developmentally disabled girl — while already under investigation for allegedly strangling a man “possessed by a demon.”
Adam Hetke, 35, who goes by the name “Sabrina,” was convicted in Wisconsin last week of first-degree sexual assault by threatening the use of a dangerous weapon and second-degree assault of a mentally ill victim, GMToday reported.
Hetke was already a convicted sex offender — and under investigation for a homicide, with charges only filed since the disturbed attacker was busted for the sex assault.
Hetke met her latest known victim — a 16-year-old girl with cognitive disabilities — at a gas station in July 2021, went to her home and sexually assaulted her while threatening to use a knife, according to the outlet.
The girl said Hetke “told her that he was a vampire and that he would bite her if she didn’t do what he wanted,” according to a criminal complaint cited by GMToday that did not use the abuser’s preferred pronouns.
Hetke was wearing a one-piece swimsuit under her clothes and carrying a knife when approached by police, according to the complaint.
The convicted sex offender, who was released from prison in November 2020, also faces charges in an open homicide case in Milwaukee, GMToday reported.
She was arrested on a tentative charge of first-degree intentional homicide in the April 2021 death of Vydale Thompson-Moody, a 28-year-old who had a cognitive disability, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The victim was strangled with a cord inside a home in the Concordia neighborhood on Milwaukee’s west side, the news outlet reported.
Hetke told Milwaukee police that the young man was “possessed by a demon” and began stabbing himself in the chest with tongs, according to GMToday.
Hetke said she managed to exorcise the demon, but that the demon caused Thompson-Moody to wrap a cord around his own neck and pull the ends, the complaint says.
One witness said he was scared of Hetke, who also went by the name “Morrigan” and claimed she could inject demons into people’s bodies.
Hetke told a witness she would place a demon inside the victim and kill him because he disrespected her — then allegedly admitted to another witness that she killed him, the outlet reported.
“I killed him. God can’t bring him back but I can because I’m the devil,” Hetke allegedly said, according to the complaint.
The suspect was arrested within 24 hours of the crime but was soon released with no charges formally filed, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
Thompson-Moody’s mother, Serena Thompson, was told the witnesses weren’t cooperating with authorities, so she began making phone calls and reaching out to them on social media, according to the outlet.
“Vydale would have wanted me to be persistent,” she told the Journal Sentinel in an August 2021 interview. “I will never give up on him.”
“Being that they let this person go and commit another crime, it hurt,” Thompson added, referring to the sexual assault. “It could’ve been prevented.”
When cops arrived at the West Wells Street home, they found Thompson-Moody on the floor with a 15-foot electrical cord under him and marks on his neck and forehead, according to the criminal complaint.
After a week in jail, Hetke was discharged by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office on administrative release, a designation that typically means prosecutors aren’t yet prepared to file charges.
“That really bugged the heck out of me,” Thompson told the news outlet.
She eventually located one of the witnesses, a woman who said Hetke told her beforehand that she wanted to kill Thompson-Moody for being disrespectful, according to the complaint.
All of the witnesses eventually told police that after being released from jail, Hetke returned home and admitted to killing Thompson-Mody intentionally — but it took two months for prosecutors to pursue charges.
Hetke wasn’t charged in Thompson-Moody’s death until almost two weeks after she was jailed in Waukesha County.
Milwaukee County Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern told the Journal Sentinel that it was “important for us to receive additional information related to the investigation before issuing criminal charges.”
The homicide case is expected to go to trial in June, with a hearing set for April 30.
