Woman guilty of ongoing child sexual abuse sentenced to decades in prison – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
A woman accused of taking a child in her care to multiple photo shoots that involved the victim being placed in “sexually explicit poses” has been sentenced to 32 years in prison, the Collin County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.
Stacey Jurik, 40, of Wylie, was arrested by Dallas police officers in December 2022 on multiple charges, including continuous sexual abuse of a child, online court records show. Her complaint showed the victim was under 14 at the time of the offense. She was sentenced Thursday.
In 2021, Jurik was approached by Grant Durtschi, 50, of Lewisville, and “arranged” for him to take photographs of a child in her care, the district attorney’s office said in Tuesday’s news release.
“Durtschi traveled between states to photograph children, and many of the photographs were of a sexually explicit nature,” the attorney’s office said, adding that “Jurik knew that Durtschi was producing child pornography.”
Between 2021 and early 2022, Jurik allegedly took the child to “numerous photo shoots” involving Durtschi. She is also accused of discussing the ideas and themes for the shoots, the law firm said.
