Former Louisiana Sheriff’s Deputy Convicted, Sentenced To 100 Years for Rape, Sexual Battery, Child Pornography, Other Charges
Louisiana – On January 3, 2023, it was announced that former Livingston Parish sheriff’s deputy Dennis Perkins agreed in a plea to a sentence of 100 years in prison in a 2019 case involving various sex crimes.
Perkins was charged with rape, child pornography, sexual battery, and video voyeurism. He was also accused of conspiring with another person to cover school desserts with his own semen so that they could later be fed to children.
Perkins pled guilty to second-degree rape, sexual battery of a child under the age of 18, sexual battery of a child under the age of 13, video voyeurism, mingling of harmful substances, and production of child pornography as part of the plea.
As part of the plea, the remaining charges against Perkins were dismissed.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry issued the following statement after Dennis Perkins admitted guilt.
“Today, Dennis Perkins admitted to his despicable crimes and pled guilty in court. He not only waived any right to appeal, probation, or parole and any attempt to avoid conviction; but Mr. Perkins also spared the victims from reliving his horrific crimes during trial.
Today’s conviction is in the best interest of our victims and justice. I thank Assistant Attorneys General Barry Milligan, Erica McLellan, and Christopher Walters for their great prosecutorial efforts to hold Dennis Perkins accountable. I also thank my Cyber Crime Unit for their work on this case and their tireless pursuit to protect Louisiana’s children. Additionally, I thank our Victims Advocate Kristen Martin for her passionate and dedicated efforts working with our victims throughout this prosecution.
Our State is suffering from a crime epidemic, and it is going to take a strong commitment from local and state officials to defeat it. Criminals must be punished for their crimes, and victims must be supported. Today, my office sent a loud message to predators lurking: if you harm children, you will receive the justice you deserve.”
