East Baton Rouge Parish, LA – A multi-agency child exploitation investigation in East Baton Rouge Parish resulted in the arrest of a Baton Rouge man this week after authorities say he allegedly attempted to meet who he believed was a minor during an undercover operation.
According to the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit (LSP SVU), detectives working alongside the FBI Baton Rouge Field Office launched an online operation on November 13 targeting individuals suspected of seeking to exploit juveniles. Investigators say the suspect allegedly engaged in explicit conversations with undercover officers posing as a 15-year-old boy before arranging a meeting for sexual activity. LSP also reported that the suspect was employed by the East Baton Rouge Parish School System at the time of the investigation.
On November 18, according to police, the man was arrested on charges of Computer-Aided Solicitation of a Minor and Indecent Behavior with Juveniles. He was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Jail. Digital forensic analysis remains underway, and investigators say the case remains active.
LSP SVU emphasized that community reporting is a critical tool for identifying individuals accused of crimes involving child exploitation and other forms of trafficking.
