A 31-year-old woman has turned herself in for sexually abusing her children.
Keirsten White, of Opelousas in central Louisiana, has been charged with first-degree rape, sexual battery, two counts of indecent behavior with juveniles, and two counts of cruelty to juveniles.
Earlier this week, White entered the St. Landry Parish Jail and confessed that she s3xually and physically abused her children, both under the age of 4.
Detectives opened an investigation and with the cooperation of White, determined her claims to be true and she was promptly arrested, according to the announcement. White claimed that she was dealing with extreme stress due to a divorce.
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.
‘We are thankful that White surrendered herself and was completely cooperative with detectives.’
If convicted, she could face life behind bars, the maximum penalty for first-degree rape under Louisiana law.
