Man who raped 2 year old girl and killed her great-grandparents jailed for 359 years
Remorseless Jerry Active, 26, continued to protest his innocence as he was sentenced for his sickening crimes.
"I'll stand by my innocence until the end," Active said in the Anchorage courtroom, blaming his guilty verdict on a white jury, according to KTUU 2.
He was found guilty in April of beating to death 71-year-old Touch Chea and his 73-year-old wife Sorn Sreap after raping Sreap and her 2-year-old great-granddaughter, police said.
He also sexually assaulted a 90-year-old woman, who died in June.
Active, who was 24 at the time of the killing, had been released early from prison just hours before the attacks, according to state officials.
He was set free on probation after serving part of a seven-year sentence for pleading guilty to breaking into an Alaska home in 2009 and sexually assaulting a child and other residents.
"Mr. Active's actions will remain a scar on the community," Anchorage Superior Court Judge Philip Volland said, according to the Alaska Dispatch News.
"These murders were senseless, brutal, bloody and bloodthirsty."
