Louisiana Mother Leeann Yammarino Sentenced to 26 Years for Sex Crimes Against Minors

Her teenage daughter asked the judge for the harshest punishment during the sentencing hearing.

Overview

  • Ascension Parish Judge Keyojuan Gant-Turner ordered consecutive maximum terms — 10 years for each carnal knowledge count and three years for each indecent behavior count — totaling 26 years.
  • Yammarino pleaded no contest in September to two counts of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and two counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile.
  • Upon release, she must register as a sex offender for life.
  • Detectives opened the case in July 2024 after parents and teens came forward with reports tied to Dutchtown High School and explicit material shared on Snapchat.
  • Arrest affidavits detail alleged intercourse with at least two boys and lewd messages to several others, and District Attorney Ricky Babin described her as a threat because the victims are minors.
