A Jennings man is facing child pornography charges after a cyber tip led to an investigation of a video showing a male involved with a sex act with a female juvenile.

Logan Michale Crochet, 22, was arrested on one count of pornography involving juveniles.

Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Chris Ivey said authorities began investigating Crochet in September after a cyber tip was received by the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office. According to the tip, a video containing child pornography was uploaded onto Instagram and forward to another user’s account in June.

The one minute and three seconds video, which shows a male and a female juvenile involved in a sex act, was determined to be illegal, Ivey said.

Deputies obtained a search warrant to identify the IP account and location of the subscriber to the account and were able to identify Crochet as the suspect.

No bond has been set for Crochet following his arrest on Wednesday.
