A Kaplan man has been arrested by the Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office on sex crime charges involving a juvenile, following an investigation into two recent incidents in Jeff Davis Parish.
Benny Roy Freeman Jr., 19, was arrested on warrants for contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, pornography involving juveniles and carnal knowledge of a juvenile.
According to Chief Deputy Chris Ivey, the investigation is continuing and additional arrests and charges are expected.
Freeman was arrested Tuesday after deputies were dispatched to a local residence in reference to indecent behavior with a juvenile complaint, Ivey said.
The victim’s mother told deputies that her 15-year-old juvenile reportedly had sex with two individuals, ages 17 and 19. The incidents allegedly occurred between July 10-15, according to the complaint.
Freeman was booked into the Jeff Davis Parish Jail where he is currently being held without bond.
