   Harris County District Attorney’s Office   
      
   Serial Indifference is a monthslong investigation into a jailed rape victim   
   named Jenny, whose case became a national scandal and dominated the District   
   Attorney's race last year after she filed a federal lawsuit claiming that her   
   jailing amounted to    
   being "re-raped." Read the full investigation on our subscriber website,

   Pedro Moreno was HPD's "go-to guy" in the sex-crimes division for   
   investigating serial rapists. His fellow officers called him "Father Pete"   
   because of the confessions he'd coaxed over the years from sexual assault   
   suspects.   
      
   A report on Moreno's desk in the summer of 2007 said the attacker had   
   brandished a knife during a rape. It was particularly violent.   
      
   He felt certain this rapist had attacked other women.   
      
   Moreno had been a Houston police officer for more than two decades. After   
   working his first case, he was struck by how traumatizing sexual assault was   
   for women. He felt deeply for them and knew then it was his calling.   
      
   During his career, he would file charges against more than 30 repeat   
   offenders, he said, and almost all of them had been convicted. He was used to   
   putting them away.   
      
   Moreno was driven by a responsibility to victims, to bringing their attackers   
   to justice. Every one, no matter her circumstances, deserved nothing less, he   
   felt.   
      
   He poured over, reports of rapes and assaults, sexual and physical.   
      
   He separated them into stacks, made notes in the margins, found the parallels.   
      
   The victims were homeless women. The rapes all took place within about a   
   two-mile radius of the distinctive 1939 Sears store and Fiesta Mart, lit in   
   yellow and red neon, at Wheeler near the Pierce elevated bridge.   
      
   RELATED: See where Hendricks allegedly attacked homeless women in a small   
   pocket of Houston's Midtown neighborhood   
      
   In many instances, the assailant was friendly at first, usually offering the   
   women drugs, persuading them to go with him. Then he took them to vacant   
   homes, behind bridges or other areas shielded from view.   
      
   He often brandished a knife or a box cutter. He held his victims down, choking   
   them during the rape. And there was this: Some of them could identify the   
   assailant by his street name.   
   They called him "Slim" or "Chicago Slim."   
      
   More soon discovered his identity: Keith Edward Hendricks, a convicted rapist   
   from Indiana.   
      
   For nearly eight years, Hendricks was accused of raping homeless women in   
   Harris County. Authorities arrested the alleged assailant for those crimes   
   more than once. But the system failed, again and again, to put him away. To
