‼️SVU Investigation Results in Arrest of Houma Man for Multiple Counts of Child S*xual Abuse Material ‼️


‼️TROOP C NEWS RELEASE - June 28, 2025 ‼️

Background — Lafourche Parish
– In December of 2024, the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit (LSP/SVU) began an investigation into the possession and distribution of child s*xual abuse material, which resulted in the arrest of 35-year-old KraigThibodeaux of Houma.

The case was initiated after the LSP/SVU received a cyber-tip from Attorney General Liz Murrill’s Louisiana Bureau of Investigation regarding the s*xual exploitation of minors. The tip included information

On June 26, 2025, investigators with LSP/SVU, the LSP Criminal Investigations Division – Houma Field Office, and the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, executed search and arrest warrants at Thibodeaux’s
residence in the Bayou Blue community. Thibodeaux was arrested and charged with five counts of

LA RS 14:81.1 - Po*******hy Involving Juveniles. He was processed into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex. This case remains under investigation.

LSP/SVU works to rescue and seek justice for the victims of crimes involving the exploitation of children and the trafficking of humans for s*x or labor through investigative partnerships with local, state,
and federal law enforcement agencies and through public education.

The public plays an important 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. The form can be found by visiting la-safe.org and clicking on the “Suspicious Activity” link.

A fusion center is a collaborative effort of two or more agencies that provide resources, expertise, and/or information with the goal of maximizing the ability to detect, prevent, investigate, apprehend, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity.
