A 46-year-old man got 100 years in prison after pleading guilty to sex crimes, including putting his sperm in cupcake batter that school kids ate.
Dennis Perkins, a former sheriff’s deputy in Louisiana, and his 37-year-old wife Cynthia were arrested for the crimes in 2019. Cynthia got her sentence in February of last year, according to a source.
The Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy is said to have been charged with 150 sex crimes, one of which was ejaculating into the cupcake batter.
Cynthia, who got 41 years in prison for her part in the crimes, would then use the cake mix to make baked goods, which she would give to her Westside Junior High School students.

Perkins would plead guilty to one count of second-degree rape, two counts of sexual battery of a child, one count of video voyeurism, two counts of production of child porn involving children under the age of 13, and one count of mixing harmful substances, according to a source.
The plea deal was made so that the younger victims in the case wouldn’t have to testify, which would protect them. Before the deal went forward, each victim had to agree to it.
During his trial, the former deputy had to face the families of the people he had hurt. Sometimes he would cry when he saw people he had hurt.

Perkins said the following at the hearing:
I just want to make this statement. Jesus Christ has forgiven me. And I’m grateful for that. And, I hope and pray that anybody that this affected will also find forgiveness and healing through Jesus Christ.
A woman victim had just told Perkins that he is “not worth her time” and that “[Perkins] chose to hurt instead of protect. Have a good time in jail.”
According to the source, the husband and wife were first arrested in 2019 after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sent them a picture of them naked with a child.
Both of them lost their jobs, and Cynthia filed for divorce soon after saying that her husband had made her do the crimes.

In one lawsuit, it is said that the people who were hurt by the crimes involving the cupcake batter had mental health problems and behavior problems that kept them from sleeping.
Cynthia will serve 41 years, and Perkins will spend the rest of his life in jail.
All of the people who have been hurt by these awful crimes are in our thoughts.
