Joint Investigation Leads to Child Exploitation Arrests (1)

Jefferson Parish – On June 17, 2025, the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit (LSP-SVU), in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office (JPSO), launched a two-day investigation into child exploitation. The operation concluded on June 18 with the arrest of two individuals on charges related to child sexual exploitation.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of 35-year-old Quindel Jarrow of New Orleans and 32-year-old Edy Martinez-Rodriguez of Metairie. Each individual was charged with Attempted Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile, Indecent Behavior with Juveniles, and Computer-aided Solicitation of a Minor. In addition to the above charges, Jarrow was booked on an outstanding warrant from Denton County, Texas. Both were booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center. These cases remain under investigation.

LSP-SVU works to rescue and seek justice for victims of child exploitation and human trafficking. We partner with local, state, and federal agencies, focusing on public education. Assistance from the public is crucial in identifying suspects accused of these crimes, and the public is urged to report any suspicious or criminal activity. The Louisiana State Police online reporting system is available to the public through an anonymous reporting form that is submitted to the appropriate investigators.
