Rayne Man Arrested for First-Degree Rape, Indecent Behavior, and Sexual Battery of a Minor

Acadia Parish – On November 4, 2024, Detectives with the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit (LSP SVU) began investigating a criminal complaint involving the sexual abuse of a child under the age of 13. The information received alleged that 41-year-old Julian ‘Trey’ Aucoin III of Rayne sexually abused the juvenile victim.

During the course of the investigation, Detectives discovered Aucoin participated in numerous acts of forced sexual contact with the minor over the span of two years. Based on their investigation, a warrant for Aucoin’s arrest was obtained.

On November 26, 2024, LSP SVU, in conjunction with the Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office, LSP Fugitive Apprehension Unit (LSP FAU), LSP Criminal Intelligence Unit (LSP CIU), and Attorney General Liz Murrill’s Office, arrested Aucoin.
