An Alaska man convicted of raping a 2-year-old girl and killing her great-grandparents was sentenced Friday to 359 years in prison for the repulsive crimes.
Jerry Active was unremorseful as a judge handed down the punishment for the horrific 2013 attack on the Mountain View family, the Alaska Dispatch News reported.
"I'll stand by my innocence until the end," Active said in the Anchorage courtroom, blaming his guilty verdict on a white jury, according to KTUU 2.
The monster was found guilty in April of beating to death 71-year-old Touch Chea and his 73-year-old wife Sorn Sreap after raping Sreap and her 2-year-old great-granddaughter, police said.
He also sexually assaulted a 90-year-old woman, who died in June.
The sickening attack had shaken investigators for its brutality. Seasoned detectives had called the crimes the "worst thing they had ever seen in their lives," police department spokeswoman Anita Shell said at the time.
The Togiak, Alaska, man entered the doomed family's home at random in May 2013.
He was found guilty on 10 felony counts, including first-degree murder, multiple counts of sexual assault, sexually abusing a minor and robbery.
Active, who was 24 at the time of the killing, had been released early from prison just hours before the attacks, according to state officials.
He was set free on probation after serving part of a seven-year sentence for pleading guilty to breaking into an Alaska home in 2009 and sexually assaulting a child and other residents.
"Mr. Active's actions will remain a scar on the community," Anchorage Superior Court Judge Philip Volland said, according to the Alaska Dispatch News.
"These murders were senseless, brutal, bloody and bloodthirsty."
