A junior high school teacher in Louisiana was arrested after serving schoolchildren cupcakes laced with her husband's semen.

Cynthia Perkins, 35, and Dennis Perkins, 45, were accused of feeding Westside Junior High School students baked goods tainted with bodily fluids in 2018 and 2019. According to The Advocate, the school board will also be sued in the filing.

Incriminating Evidence

Investigators searched their Denham Springs home and found several electronic devices with dozens of child pornography photos. In some of the pictures, Cynthia moved a sleeping child's clothes to expose the victim's private parts. They were also photographed having sexual intercourse beside the sleeping child or on top of the child.

Detectives claim some of the photos also showed the couple forcing a female youth to perform oral sex on him.

They also found over five terabytes of encrypted data. According to the new court filings, the data included:

  • Acting out a fantasy of having sexual intercourse with a minor

  • A detailed note of an alleged sexual act between an adult and a child under the age of 13 was found in Cynthia's phone.

  • Keywords and search terms Dennis entered into various engines, most of which involved sexual acts with children.

  • Photoshopped images of children in lewd positions

  • Videos of naked children recorded using a "spy watch" placed in the shower room

Victims' Accounts

According to The Advocate, one lawsuit claims the father of a student hasn't been able to gain employment due to crippling depression. Another parent claims she and her child developed mental health issues, trauma, and difficulties in sleeping after learning they ingested tainted cupcakes.

The most recent lawsuit claims their daughter was also shown sexual images and was forced to eat the semen-laced goods. She was also photographed and videotaped.

All of the lawsuits claim the school board is negligent and lacked oversight on Cynthia's behavior. They also claim the school allowed her to violate policies in allowing students to be served homemade food items.

Previous Claims

According to reports, this week's Livingston Parish court filing marks the fourth lawsuit filed against the Perkins and the school board.

Cynthia and her husband, who was a former deputy, previously had three other civil complaints filed against them. In October 2019, they were arrested on child pornography charges. Authorities found a photo where the pair posed naked with a minor after they received an anonymous tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Dennis was fired from his position as a deputy at the Livingston Parish Sherrif's Office after he was indicted on 78 counts of felony. Cynthia resigned from her teaching job following her 2019 arrest for 72 felony counts.

They were also charged with producing pornography involving youth under the age of 13, rape, attempted rape, sexual battery, obscenity, and video voyeurism. The former deputy was also charged for sexually abusing an animal.

Livingston Parish Schools' board attorney denied any wrongdoing for the previous cases and claimed the allegations placed on the school was "defamatory."
