In 2009, he was arrested for sneaking into a Togiak home and attempting to sexually assault an 11-year-old girl while the family slept, then assaulting three members of the household, according to a report from Alaska State Troopers. Togiak is a mostly Alaska Native community of more than 800 people in western Alaska.

He's been in and out of jail for the past 6 years, now 24, that makes him 18 when he started his (adult) life of crime. Would love to know what his juvie record was. I'd bet he wasn't a boy scout or a member of the choir.

I wonder if his parents are living?

Now prosecutors, some legislators and Active's mother are asking questions about the 24-year-old's troubled path through the state's correctional system and whether more could have been done to keep him off the streets.

Attorney General Michael Geraghty said this past week that the Department of Law has begun going through Active's case files. Three Democratic legislators called on Geraghty to investigate the circumstances behind Active's release Saturday and questioned whether he should have served a longer sentence for an earlier assault.

Active's mother said she wishes he had never gotten out of jail.

"Why did they let him out if they knew he needed help?" Mary Sergie said in a telephone interview Wednesday.

A probation officer's report from the time noted that alcohol abuse and violence seemed "to be issues the defendant needs to address." A judge ordered Active to undergo substance abuse and sex-offender treatment, Schroeder said.

He could have gotten some of that counseling in jail, she said.

But he didn't.

The state can't force an inmate to do therapeutic programs while in jail without a judge's order, said Schroeder. But attending programs can be a condition of probation.

On Saturday, May 25, Active walked out of the Anchorage Correctional Complex at 8:09 a.m., having served fewer than the 150 days of his sentence.

The trial of Jerry Andrew Active, accused of a notorious 2013 double murder and multiple sexual assaults, began Thursday in Anchorage Superior Court with Active listening while prosecutors recalled the night of the crime, saying Active was arrested near the scene clad in bloody socks.

Active's attorney, meanwhile, argued during opening statements that the state lacks the DNA evidence to tie Active to the crimes.

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.
