Melanie Curtin was acquitted on all counts in her second trial related to a 2014 sexual assault case involving former Deputy Dennis Perkins of the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office.
The jury reached its decision after roughly three hours of discussion, which followed a trial lasting a week.
Curtin stated, 'I am so thankful for the people that prayed for me and fought for me, and I’m looking forward to freedom.'
Her defense lawyer stated that the jury assessed the evidence and recognized the shortcomings in the state's argument.
The Attorney General's Office issued a statement disagreeing with the jury's decision but honoring the judicial process.
Dennis Perkins received a 100-year prison sentence in 2023 for his heinous crimes, including child abuse and rape.
