Sex offender charged after authorities say he refused GPS tracking

EAU CLAIRE — A two-time convicted sex offender from Eau Claire is back in court after authorities accused him of refusing a court-ordered GPS tracker.

Xou Her, 52, has not complied with the state’s sex offender registry since August 2023, according to court records, even though the registry itself lists him as compliant. She faces four separate cases and has pleaded not guilty in each.

The first case accuses her of refusing the GPS tracker, which he must wear for the rest of his life. He also faces one count involving possession of methamphetamine and one alleging he failed to update his information with the state’s sex offender registry.

The latest case involves three counts: failure to update information on the sex offender registry and two counts of bail jumping.

According to the register, she has a long list of aliases. Although most involve variations of his middle name, he has also gone by Buddha Lee Her and Thomas L Herrison.

Court records show Her was convicted in September 1995 of third-degree sexual assault. According to the criminal complaint, police were contacted by a 15-year-old who said she was five months pregnant. She was 23 years old then. Although the father is not specifically named, she referred to him as her boyfriend and said she had had sex with him.

Six months later, Henne pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual abuse of a child. That charge, originally filed as first-degree sexual assault of a child, was filed after a 12-year-old told police she had followed her to a bathroom and had sex with her.

The state’s court database shows a lengthy record for her, including convictions for delivery of methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, maintaining a drug trafficking place and failure to provide or update information on the state’s sex offender registry.
