A majority of the offenses relate to one juvenile victim under the age of 13 who documents say was the victim of rape, attempted rape, sexual battery, video voyeurism and the production of child pornography over a period of several months in 2019. The documents do not detail the nature of the relationship between either suspect and the child.

The Perkinses had a variety of sexual fantasies, but seemed mostly interested in children. Probably because they are so vulnerable and easier to intimidate. But children weren’t their only victims. At least one adult woman was drugged and raped. Also, “Sometime between June 1-19, 2019, Dennis Perkins engaged in sexual contact with a dog and filmed the act, according to the indictment documents.”

A video from 2012 while Dennis was on duty as a patrol officer making a traffic stop: Investigators claim Perkins recorded an adult woman without her knowledge with a pin camera. The filing details how Dennis allegedly moved the camera around to shoot down her shirt and under her shorts.

There was also a picture of a naked child on his work computer. Deputy Perkins liked hidden cameras. They were used in other instances such as placing them in bathrooms to video children showering.

The couple also took pornographic videos of themselves, which is not illegal. They were ‘members’ of the Mile High Club and had video proof. The Mile High Club is not an official club. It includes anyone who claims to have had sex on an airplane while it was in flight. That would be sex in a public place, which is illegal.

Partnership Falls Apart

She has already stated that she is terrified of Dennis Perkins. If she can get the jury to believe it, she might get a lower sentence. I’m just not sure she can pull it off. Nothing seems to point toward that being the case.

Dennis Perkins is afraid now that his wife has divorced him. He anticipates that she will turn on him, which she will. Prosecutors suspect he will attempt to get a plea deal, but so far, he has not asked for one.
