BATON ROUGE, LA – Attorney General
Jeff Landry released the following statement after Jeff Perilloux was sentenced
to 14 years:
“The road
was not easy to travel, but today we finally arrived to justice for the young
victims. I am proud of the hard work by AAG Matt Derbes, AAG Brooke Harris, and
AAG Barry Milligan to ensure Mr. Perilloux was brought to justice. Sex offenses
against children are the most serious of crimes which cause permanent
psychological harm. This trauma has been exacerbated by Mr. Perilloux’s
continued refusal to admit and/or take responsibility for what he did to these
young women, who were children when these crimes were committed. But I hope the
sentence issued today will bring some comfort to the survivors and their
families.”
The sentencing comes after, on
September 12, a jury found Mr. Perilloux guilty as charged of three felony
counts of indecent behavior with juveniles and Judge Dennis Waldron found Mr.
Perilloux guilty of one count of misdemeanor sexual battery following a lengthy
five day trail.
