I'm PRETTY SURE they tried to give her a soft plea (like 10 years or something) and she rejected it to go to trial.

I doubt this affidavit is enough to really change things with a new trial. Curious if they offer her the same deal again b/c they already have 2 convictions for the major people.


But now their victim has a major credibility problem and the trial court has a directive to let it all in.

Just finished the opinion. The very short version is that the video cuts in during the act, so there's no evidence of whether she consented or didn't consent. She testified that she has no recollection of that night, so she can't testify to consent either way. However, she testified that, as a categorical, she would never consent to a threesome and allow it to be filmed. However, there was evidence that was kept out that she had previously engaged in filmed sex with multiple people, engaged in filmed sex with masks, and the later found affidavit outlines that she had had group sex with multiple other couples.

While none of that contradicts the video itself, it does potentially undermine her testimony that, in spite of the fact that she can't say she didn't consent, she can say with certainty that she would never consent under those circumstances.


This one gave me wood too.

Sounds like she would have rathered Melanie go to jail for life, than her willing participation in the orgy becoming public.

If true that's despicable.

Her time never seemed right to me. Guilty, but her association with Perkins resulted in a ridiculous sentence.


I don't recall if this is 100% accurate, but I seem to vaguely recall that a pretty reasonable deal was offered... something like 10 years. Or trial and face mandatory minimum life for the specific charge she had. She gambled thinking her "i was drugged" defense would work and lost.

Tough call if you feel you're truly innocent, but given the outrage at the time, she was probably facing a stacked deck.

I always thought it was insane that she received a longer sentence than Cynthia.

Well maybe she believed she would be found not guilty. If nothing else she at least has a new trial.

And reading the opinion, she may have been committing adultery and certainly has some culpability in her actions but with the new evidence it might show the other woman, who was Perkins wife at the time, consented and may have even encouraged the three way then when she was identified in the video denied and played the victim card.

The video was found after Perkins was arrested so this woman might have thought she was going to be brought into the middle of it even possibly being a suspect.

I think she lied and let Curtin take the fall.

Licking the vagina of an unconscious woman is a life sentence. The law is the law.

Don’t have much sympathy for Melanie Curtin. What kind of meth whore white trash brings their child with them to the neighbors then has a 3 sum with the neighbors?

Mom of the year there.

wasn’t a gang rape. Jesus . Read the opinion. Her face was covered, nothing established before the video started, text messages before the night and the next day, the “victim” was Perkins wife at the time, a lot of other videos were not allowed to be shown, photos as well showing other sexual encounters with Perkins and other women with heads covered, videos of defendant giving unidentified male a blowjob to show her promiscuity yet not allowing the above. All that during the trial.

Then the document of her admitting to having sex in video with her husband and other couples.

I stand by my initial post. The girl was railroaded and the victim is a whore.

And she’s not pleading guilty to anything unless it lets her out of prison. From a layman she’s got a good case. That’s my thought.


I don't know what this post is about but it gave me wood.


The girl didn't do nothing wrong. The victim was lying. Curtain should sue the frick out of those lawyers

I think you are getting it confused.

Curtin showed up for drugs (with her daughter)
Perkins now ex wife (the victim) passed out.
Curtin licked her vag while Dennis filmed it.

Curtin and Dennis were also banging on the side.

It’s just white trash meth whorin. Story gets even worse in the later years when Dennis has a 3 sum with his new wife and her 12 year old daughter. And he filmed the family dog licking his butthole. And the new wife served cupcakes to her 3rd grade students with Dennis cum in them.

All these sodomites should get life. Especially Cynthia the new wife. Well Dennis and Cynthia should get death penalty

You had my curiosity. But now you have my attention.

The prosecution has control of the evidence. They apparently "forgot"'about some



New evidence found after trial that is relevant to victim saying she would never consent to being filmed having sex with multiple people (affidavit later found from prior divorce in Alabama admitting filming sex with other couples);

Video evidence of victim with Perkins the original judge didn’t allow based on shield law which was relevant as far as questioning victim not consenting to the sex acts with Perkins in video of crime which affects the aggravated part of the aggravated rape charge and relevant to the voyeurism charge & victim saying she would never consent to being film with 3rd person present (similar acts with Perkins including possibly acting like she was passed out with sheet over head & filmed and sex act with Perkins with another female present & also filmed) and should have been allowed; and

evidence the original judge allowed about defendant’s sexual past with Perkins and with an unknown male unrelated to criminal charges or defendant’s testimony that shouldn’t have been allowed.

The one pic that the prosecution didn’t share beforehand wasn’t exculpatory but about defendant’s sexual past with the 3rd party unrelated to case or any testimony by defendant. The judge shouldn’t have allowed it but did.

This should not help Ard. And I am fine with that.
He'll win anyway but the Denny Perkins saga is a lesson. Ard let him get away with a bunch of stuff and he just got worse and worse. People in the LPSO had to know about his lifestyle and kept it quiet. I can't imagine Ard did not know.

What I have read on several forums threads is the the Curtins lived directly across the street from Jason Ard when the film was made on Perkins Rd. You have to wonder who the other performers were.
