Woman, has handed herself in for sexually abusing two toddlers in what police have called an ‘astonishing’ confession.
Keirsten White, of Opelousas in central Louisiana, said she had been ‘dealing with extreme stress and frustration stemming from a divorce’ when she ‘physically and sexually abused’ the two kids, who are both under the age of four.
She has been charged with first degree rape, sexual battery, two counts of indecent behavior with juveniles and two counts of cruelty to juveniles.
Sheriff Bobby J Guidroz, of St Landry Parish said White turned herself in and gave cops all the harrowing details of her grisly crimes on Sunday.
‘With this astonishing statement made and no outstanding warrants existing, the St Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office began their investigation,’ Guidroz said in a statement.
‘Detectives with the Juvenile Division were able to determine, through the cooperation of Keirsten White, the extent of the criminal activity involving the children.
‘White admitted to detectives that she was dealing with extreme stress and frustration stemming from a divorce.
‘While we, as Christians, should “hate the sin, not the sinner”, law enforcement has the sacred obligation to uphold the law.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
She is being held at St Landry Parish Jail without bond ahead of her first court appearance.
She stared straight ahead while wearing an orange prison jumpsuit in her mugshot, shared by the sheriff’s office.
If convicted, she could face life behind bars, the maximum penalty for first degree ra_e under Louisiana law, though her confession is likely to shorten this term.
