Man sentenced to 80 years after admitting to raping three-year-old

BATON ROUGE — Jeremiah Jamal Crosby, 26, was recently sentenced by Judge Louise Hines to 80 years in behind bars after he was convicted of one count of sexual battery (of a child under the age of five), one count of production of pornography involving juveniles and eight counts of possession of pornography involving juveniles.

Crosby will not have the possibility of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence, according to the Attorney General’s Office.  

On Feb. 7, 2024, the AG’s office says a search at Crosby’s home in Baton Rouge revealed videos of child pornography and videos of bestiality. When executing the search warrant, investigators say they met with Crosby, who agreed to speak to them regarding this investigation.

EBRSO opened an investigation about a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Officials said the tip contained child sexual abuse material of children under 13.

During the interview with Crosby, he admitted to having images/videos of child pornography and bestiality on his phone. Officials say he also allegedly admitted to raping a three-year-old on several occasions while she was left in his care, arrest records showed.

“There’s a special place in hell for people who rape little children. Eighty years is not long enough, but I’ll take it. Great work by my team for getting justice for this victim,” said Attorney General Liz Murrill.

This case was investigated by General Murrill’s Louisiana Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and its affiliate members including the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
