A search warrant was obtained by the Brandon Police Department and subsequently executed at the defendant’s residence. While searching the defendant’s residence, law enforcement collected electronic devices and other items containing evidence related to the case that helped prove Duett’s guilt.

The Defendant was indicted by the Rankin County Grand Jury on September 3, 2025. The trial commenced on March 23, 2026. At trial, the State presented testimony from law enforcement officers, an investigator, a sexual assault nurse, and other witnesses, as well as evidence obtained during the course of the investigation. The jury received the case on March 25, 2026, and found the defendant guilty on all counts of the indictment.

District Attorney John K. Bramlett stated, “You cannot put into words the damage done to a child in a case like this, but today’s sentence makes one thing clear: if you hurt a child in Rankin County, you can expect to spend the rest of your life paying for it.”

The District Attorney’s Office thanks the Brandon Police Department, the Children’s Advocacy Center, and the Center for Violence Prevention for their commitment to protecting children and pursuing justice in this case. This case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Kathryn Newman and Amanda Fritz.
