Cherish Perrywinkle's biological father Billy Jarreau spoke to our partner action news through his attorney.
His attorney says Cherish's father is still coping with the devastating news about his daughter's death. Gerald Wilkerson says his client has a message for the community about Cherish.
"Even though this ended in tragedy, he's hoping it'll shed light on the hazards of allowing pedophiles to roam the street."
Action news is also reporting a custody battle had been brewing over Cherish since 2007. Jarreau has reportedly also taken to his Facebook page saying he wants to be "politically correct" about his daughter's death and not express his true feelings.
