Dennis Perkins, 47, will spend the rest of his life in prison after he pleaded guilty to a slew of offenses ranging from rape, child abuse images and video voyeurism to contaminating food with a bodily substance, authorities said.
She pleaded guilty to reduced charges in exchange for a 41-year sentence as part of an agreement that would have made it mandatory for her to testify against Dennis Perkins if he stood trial.
The bulk of the charges against the pair involved a child younger than 13. The couple were charged with rape, attempted rape, sexual battery, video voyeurism and production of child abuse images during several months in 2019, the Advocate reported.
Prosecutors did not disclose how the Perkinses knew the child.
Another woman, Melanie Curtin, has been serving a life sentence since last year after a jury convicted her of helping Dennis Perkins rape and film a woman who was unconscious in 2014.
