涉嫌性侵兒童、製作兒童色情作品等60多項指控。
對孩子們來說，除了父母，最讓他們信賴的人莫過於警察和老師了。然而，美國這樣一對夫婦卻背叛了孩子們的信任。
A longtime sheriff's deputy in Louisiana and his school teacher wife were arrested on child pornography charges this week.
本週，路易斯安那州一位在職多年的副警長和他當老師的妻子因兒童色情指控而被捕。
Dennis Perkins and Cynthia Thompson Perkins face first-degree rape charges and 60 counts of pornography production involving a juvenile under the age of 13, a statement from the Louisiana Attorney General's Office said.
路易斯安那州總檢察長辦公室的一份聲明稱，丹尼斯·珀金斯和辛西婭·湯普森·珀金斯面臨一級強姦指控和60項製作色情作品的指控，其中涉及一名不足13歲的青少年。

44歲的珀金斯從2002年以來就在利文斯頓縣警局工作，事發前擔任特警隊的負責人。週二，警局出動人員逮捕了他。警長傑森·阿德(Jason Ard)表示，當調查人員告訴他珀金斯被指控的罪行後，他就立馬將其開除了。
“It’s a sad day for all of us, for all law enforcement officers, when you arrest one of your own,” Ard said in a statement. "We at the LPSO work hard everyday to retain the trust placed in us by our citizens. I understand this was a veteran law enforcement officer, one who had dedicated a lot of time and effort into this community, but as I have said in the past – no one is above the law."
阿德在一份聲明中說：“對我們，對所有執法人員來說，這都是悲哀的一天，因為你逮捕的是自己隊伍中的一員。”“為了不辜負轄區內居民對警局的信任，我們每天都在努力工作。我知道，他是一名經驗豐富的執法人員，他為這個社區貢獻了大量時間和精力，但正如我過去所說的：沒有人可以凌駕於法律之上。”

根據路易斯安那州司法部門的公開信息，珀金斯被控60項製作色情作品的罪名，2項一級強姦罪，3項持有色情物品的罪名，2項視頻窺視罪(Video Voyeurism)和2項猥褻罪。他的保釋金額為167.5萬美元。
妻子辛西婭·湯普森·珀金斯則是利文斯頓縣一所公立中學的老師。據悉，校方直到她週二辭職的時候才知道警方針對夫妻倆人的調查。她被控60項製作色情作品和2項一級強姦罪，週三就被關進了拘留所，保釋金額為50萬美元。

目前案件還在調查中，夫妻二人做的這些齷齪之事是如何敗露的、又有多少青少年慘遭毒手等細節尚待揭曉。
A tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sparked the ongoing investigation, the Attorney General's Office said.
總檢察長辦公室表示，是全國失蹤與受虐兒童中心的一條爆料引發了此次調查。
“Protecting Louisiana children is one of my top priorities,” Attorney General Jeff Landry said in a statement. “So my office and I will continue to do all we can to find and arrest child predators.”
“保護路易斯安那州兒童是我的首要任務之一，”總檢察長傑夫·蘭德里在一份聲明中說到。“因此，我們將繼續竭盡所能找到並逮捕那些殘害兒童的人。”

雖然案件細節未公佈，但受指控罪名之多還是驚到了美國網友。很多人表示不可思議，作為孩子們毫無保留信任的人怎麼忍心做出這種事。
“對我們來說是悲哀的一天......”
I imagine it’s a bit sadder for the children who were molested and scarred for life. 60 count indictment...God help us all.
我想，對於那些被性騷擾、終身傷痕累累的孩子來說，才更悲哀吧。60項指控啊，天哪。
Nothing scarier than a person who is supposed to enforce the law and the person who is supposed to teach and nurture children are doing this to innocent young lives.
沒有什麼比一個應該執法的人和應該教育孩子的人對無辜年幼的孩子做這種事更可怕了。
And they probsbly thought they could get away with the crimes because he's a cop & she's a teacher & people wouldn't believe people in those lines of work could do such things. Their occupations do NOT make them above reproach any more than being clergy does.
他們本以為自己可以逃脫罪行，因為他是警察，她是老師，人們不會相信從事這些工作的人會做這類事情。但他們的職業並不會使他們免於指摘。
People in positions of authority (judges, police, teachers, etcetera) should get mandatory, severe sentence enhancements.
處於權威地位的人(法官、警察、老師等)犯事的話應該判更嚴重的刑。
They ever did that to my grand kids they would be history. No court-no jury- no nothing...simple as that......
他們要敢對我孫子做那些事我早就弄死他們了。才不會有什麼調查、法庭，就這麼簡單。
