A 37-year-old Biloxi man has been sentenced to 80 years in prison for the sexual battery of children.
According to Harrison County District Attorney W. Crosby Parker, Quincy Allen Hall pled guilty to two counts of sexual battery — one for child exploitation and the other for touching a child for lustful purposes.
Assistant District Attorney Meaghan Smith, who prosecuted the case for the state, said Biloxi police officers received a report in May of 2023 that Hall had been sexually intimate with multiple children. The victims were interviewed by investigators and it was revealed that the children had been sexually abused by Hall for most of their adolescent lives.
An investigation into Hall’s phone showed that the perpetrator had also recorded himself performing the sexual acts and sent explicit messages to one of the children before and after the abuse. He confessed his crimes to Biloxi’s lead investigator Lance Miller during an interrogation.
During Hall’s plea, he apologized to the family for “all the hurt” he had caused in the abuse, but Judge Christopher Schmidt said he would get “no sympathy” from the court before handing down the lengthy sentence.
“The sexual abuse of the two victims took place over years,” Parker said. “Although we know that no amount of incarceration can take back the pain and damage caused by this defendant, we are hopeful that the sentence handed down can help in the healing process, as well as the knowledge that this defendant will spend the rest of his life in prison.”
Hall will serve his eight-decade sentence day-for-day in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections without the benefit of early release or parole.
