Crime Al Art, hourly update, breaking crime news Now. I'm
Drew Nelson, a Louisiana mother a sentence to twenty six
years in prison after a judge hands down the maximum
punishment for a string of sex crimes involving teenagers. Leanne
Yamorino is forty four. She learned her fate in an
Ascension Parish court room. Judge Kiirwan Gant Turner gave her
(00:21):
ten years times two counts for carnal knowledge of a
juvenile and three years times two counts of indecent behavior
with a juvenile. The sentences will run consecutively. She must
also register as a sex offender. Her daughter spoke in
court and asked for the harshest penalty. The case began
in July of last year, when a fourteen year old
student came forward. He told investigators he had sex with
(00:42):
Yamorino twice that year. Five more teenagers, ages fourteen to sixteen,
later reported that she sent them lewde texts, photos, and videos.
Detectives also spoke with parents who said their sons received
explicit messages. She had been involved with the cheer team
at Dutchtown High School and was well known by families
in the community. District attorney Ricky Babbin spoke to WBRZ
(01:06):
asked if Yamorino poses a danger to the community per
victims of minors, and it's multiple counts, it wasn't an
isolated incident, so yes, in my opinion, she is. Ya.
Marino pleaded no contest in September to the four counts
she had been in jail since her arrest and will
get credit for time served. Prosecutors alleged that she engaged
(01:27):
in sexual contact with the boy between January first and
July thirtieth of that year. They also alleged that she
sexted multiple teens during that same period. She will remain
a registered sex offender for fifteen years after her release.
More crime and justice news after this. A South Carolina
(01:51):
murder case ends with a forty year prison sentence for
a man who shot at a police officer then killed
a woman who had just called nine to one one
to get him medical help. David Beaufort is forty three.
A Charleston County jury convicted him of murder, attempted murder,
and possession of a weapon during the commission of a
violent crime. Doud Dedre Jefferson handed down the forty year sentence.
(02:13):
The Solicitor's office said Bufort fired four shots at North
Charleston police officer Jamie Sylvester inside a home on Ranger Drive,
then turned the gun on the woman who had called
for help. Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said, quote, brave officers like
Jamie Sylvester also suffer at the hands of these batterers. Thankfully,
Officer Sylvester survived, but this madness must stop. The shooting
(02:35):
happened in the early morning hours of December sixteenth of
twenty twenty one. Prosecutors said Baufort and the victim had
recorded a video of themselves having consensual sects. The woman
called nine to one one about twenty minutes later and
told the dispatcher she believed Beewfort was overdosing. The call
ended when he asked her to contact his mother. First
responders arrived minutes later. Bodycam video captures the moment officers
(02:58):
entered through a side door as the woman screamed in fear.
Beaufort then opened fire. He admitted to EMTs that he
had been drinking ever Clear that as one hundred and
ninety proof nearly pure alcohol, as well as smoking marijuana
laced with cocaine. Court records showed Bufort tried to plead
not guilty by reason of insanity before the trial. Doctors
at the Medical University of South Carolina ruled that he
(03:20):
had the ability to understand right from wrong at the
time of the shooting. He withdrew his insanity claim and
testified that he acted in self defense. The jury rejected
his account after a nearly four day trial. Sierra Gina
Chapman was thirty years old when she disappeared in Trotwood, Ohio.
She was last seen on December twenty seventh of twenty
(03:41):
twenty two. She had gone to the Autumn Woods apartments
that morning to meet an ex boyfriend. Her Silver twenty
fourteen Cadillac SRX was seen leaving the complex around four
thirty am. Chapman's family reported her missing on December twenty ninth.
The SUV was found ten days after she was last
seen in Middletown. Her purse and phone were inside the
vehicle and other stuff in the trunk. Police said there
(04:03):
was no evidence of foul play, but no reason for
her to be in Middletown. The Dayton Police Department issued
a new update after a September second, twenty twenty five
shootout at a Soneco gas station. Federal court records say
one of her exes, Walter Rogers, made the remark quote,
I'm going to do y'all like I did Sierra during
the exchange of gunfire. A press release from the US
(04:25):
Attorney's office said Rogers was potentially referring to his ex girlfriend.
Police would not confirm if Rogers was the ex boyfriend
that Chapman was meeting that morning. Rogers is not charged
in her case. As of now, He's being held in
the Montgomery County Jail on a federal firearm charge. Chapman
was five five, one hundred twenty three pounds. She's black
(04:46):
with brown eyes and black hair. She was last seen
in a short sleeve Tommy Hill figure shirt, blue jeans,
and black boots. She has the name Jaden tattooed on
her neck and another tattoo on her chest. Today she
would be thirty three. A reward of up to ten
one thousand dollars is offered by the FBI for information
