AURORA | An Arapahoe County man convicted of sexually abusing his daughters for close to a decade was sentenced Monday to 112 years to life in prison.
Jermaine Jay Quinata White, 38, was convicted in January of seven counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, aggravated incest and three aggravated sex offense sentence enhancers.
In July 2022, White’s stepdaughter contacted Aurora police to report that White had been sexually assaulting her for the past nine years, starting when she was 9 and prompting her to seek an abortion at 14.
Aurora police soon became aware of a concurrent investigation by Texas law enforcement into White’s abuse of his three biological daughters. White was arrested and charged in November 2022 as a result of an interagency effort by Colorado and Texas law enforcement.
All four daughters testified during White’s trial, prosecutors noted in the announcement of his conviction.
“There is no sentence that can restore their innocence and take away the trauma, but a lifelong prison sentence for this defendant can certainly assure the public and his family that they are safe,” 18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner said at the time.
Kellner’s office reported the outcome of the sentencing in a social media post Monday.
If every man who is guilty of this crime were similarly tried and sentenced, the number of men roaming freely among us would be greatly diminished.
How sad thathis was not reported and stopped immediately.
Understandable that children are too afraid to tell anyone.
Why was mother not protecting her daughter?
Criminal Quinata should be labeled “male”, not father.
