Police Chief Admits to Sexually Assaulting Unconscious Woman on 911 Call, Won’t See 1 Day in Jail

Sorrento, Louisiana police chief Earl Theriot pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting an unconscious woman and then lying about it to the FBI.

Sadly, the court seemed more concerned about his lying to the FBI, than the actual assault that took place.

Theriot managed to escape jail time, while taking just a $2,500 fine and 2 years probation.  This sentence is more lenient than a small marijuana possession charge in most states.

Theriot believes that the “embarrassment” that him and his family have faced as a result of the scandal, and the loss of his job, is fair punishment for the crimes that he committed.

“It’s a matter that cost me my law enforcement career and brought embarrassment to my family and town of Sorrento,” Theriot said in court after the sentencing, according to WAFB9.

In court, Theriot apologized to his family and to the city, but did not apologize to the victim.
