Special Victims Unit Investigation Leads to Two Arrests in Ouachita Parish

Monroe – On September 24, 2025, the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit (LSP SVU), in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, launched an investigation into the sexual trafficking of minors in Ouachita Parish. The investigation ultimately resulted in the arrests of 43-year-old Boris Briggs of Ruston and 28-year-old Aston Fabela of Monroe.

Based on the findings of the investigation and information obtained, LSP MFO secured arrest warrants through the 4th Judicial District Court. Briggs was arrested and charged with trafficking of a child for sexual purposes, indecent behavior with a juvenile, computer-aided solicitation of a juvenile, and attempted carnal knowledge of a juvenile. Fabela was arrested and charged with indecent behavior with a juvenile, computer-aided solicitation of a juvenile, and attempted carnal knowledge of a juvenile. Briggs and Fabela were processed into the Ouachita Parish Correctional Center without incident.

These cases remain active and ongoing. No further information is available at this time.

LSP SVU works to rescue and seek justice for the victims of crimes involving the exploitation of children and the trafficking of humans for sex or labor. The public plays a vital role in identifying suspects accused of these crimes and is urged to report criminal or suspicious 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.
