LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (WAFB) – A Gonzales man is facing charges after officials say he chatted online with what he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.
According to the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrested Bryce John Gautreau, 29, of Gonzales, on Friday, June 20. He was booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center on one count of indecent behavior with a juvenile and one count of computer-aided solicitation of a minor.
“The Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) Task Force is constantly combating the online dangers awaiting the children of this parish and the State of Louisiana,” said Sheriff Jason Ard. “ICAC Investigators are utilizing all investigative tools and forensic skills to keep predators from preying on innocent juvenile users on social media platforms and gaming servers.”
The Office of Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s Louisiana Bureau of Investigation helped the LPSO ICAC Task Force proactively begin an investigation into a suspect identified as Gautreau, according to the sheriff’s office.
Jail records show his bond was set at $75,000.
