Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced that East Baton Rouge Parish District Court Judge Louise Hines sentenced 26-year-old Jeremiah Jamal Crosby, of Baton Rouge, to 80 years in state prison following his conviction for one count of Sexual Battery (of a child under age 5), one count of Production of Pornography Involving Juveniles, and eight counts of Possession of Pornography Involving Juveniles. The sentences were imposed by Judge Hines without the possibility of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence.  

According to the factual basis and evidence provided by our lead prosecutor at the plea/sentencing hearing, a search warrant regarding alleged child pornography trafficking was conducted at Crosby’s residence on February 7, 2024, in Baton Rouge.  A field-level forensic preview was conducted upon Crosby’s phone seized during the search warrant.  Immediately, videos depicting child pornography, including a video made by Crosby at his residence, as he sexually assaulted a child under the age of five years old, were readily apparent. Further forensics conducted by experts in AG Murrill’s Office located approximately 75 videos depicting child pornography, with some depicting toddlers and younger being sexually assaulted.   Crosby made detailed admissions in a post-Miranda statement that tracked with the data embedded in the video he produced of his sexual assault upon the child. He also admitted knowingly possessing child pornography. 

“There’s a special place in hell for people who rape little children. 80 years is not long enough, but I’ll take it. Great work by my team for getting justice for this victim,” said Attorney General Liz Murrill.

This case was investigated by General Murrill’s Louisiana Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and its affiliate members including the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
