A 31-year-old woman has turned herself in for sexually abusing two young children in what police called a “shocking” confession.
Keirsten White, of Opelousas in central Louisiana, said he had been “dealing with extreme stress and frustration stemming from a divorce” when he “physically and sexually abused” the two children, both under the age of four.
She has been charged with first-degree rape, sexual assault, two counts of indecent conduct with minors and two counts of cruelty to minors.
Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz of St Landry Parish said White turned himself in and gave police all the harrowing details of his gruesome crimes on Sunday.
“With this surprising statement and no outstanding warrants, the St Landry Sheriff’s Office began its investigation,” Guidroz said in a statement.
‘Juvenile Division detectives were able to determine, through the cooperation of Keirsten White, the extent of criminal activity involving the children.
‘White admitted to detectives that he was dealing with extreme stress and frustration stemming from a divorce.
‘While we, as Christians, must “hate the sin, not the sinner,” authorities have a sacred obligation to respect the law.

If convicted, she could face life in prison, the maximum penalty for first-degree rape under Louisiana law, although her confession is likely to shorten that term.
