Dennis Perkins plea ends Livingston child sex crimes case | Crime/Police | theadvocate.com

A former Livingston Parish sheriff’s deputy accused of horrific sex crimes involving children pleaded guilty Tuesday, avoiding a trial that would have required young victims to testify about a series of acts that generated criminal charges ranging from rape and child to video voyeurism and inserting bodily fluids onto cupcakes served to junior high students.

He was sentenced to 100 years in prison.

Dennis Perkins and his then-wife, a former Livingston Parish schoolteacher, had faced a total of 150 felony charges after their arrests in 2019. Cynthia Perkins pleaded guilty last year to reduced charges and was sentenced to 41 years in prison in a deal contingent upon her testifying against her ex-husband, had he gone to trial.

Another woman, Melanie Curtin, received a life sentence last year after a jury found her guilty of helping the ex-deputy rape and film an unconscious woman in 2014. Dennis Perkins was the final defendant to have his case resolved in the sex crimes probe.

A rape conviction for a woman in Livingston Parish has been thrown out and is expected to get a new trial.

In December of 2021, Melanie Curtin was convicted of aggravated rape and video voyeurism and sentenced to life in prison. She appealed the conviction and the court granted a new trial this week after finding issues with evidence.

Curtin is connected to the sex crimes case against former Livingston Parish sheriff’s deputy Dennis Perkins and his wife Cynthia. Dennis was sentenced to 100 years behind bars and Cynthia received a 41-year sentence.

@mags thanks for opening this thread. Unfortunately I cannot speak towards it on an open forum. Historically speaking, that is.
