St. Tammany Parish - On January 30, 2025, the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit (LSP/SVU), working in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Covington Police Department, concluded a multi-day investigation into child exploitation. The operation concluded with the arrest of five individuals on charges related to child sexual exploitation, with two arrests handled by LSP SVU detectives, and three arrests handled by the Covington Police Department.
The investigation resulted in the arrest of 26-year-old Kevin M. Pierre of Folsom and 44-year-old Mayfield J. Lee of Metairie. Each individual was charged with Indecent Behavior with Juveniles, Computer-aided Solicitation of a Minor, and Attempted Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile. Both were booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center. These cases remain under investigation.
This investigation highlights the continued collaboration among local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in combating sexual crimes that threaten the safety of Louisiana children.
The Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit works to rescue and seek justice for victims of child exploitation and human trafficking through partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies, as well as public education. The public plays a crucial role in identifying suspects and reporting criminal or suspicious activity.
