BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) – A Denham Springs man has been arrested following a months-long investigation into child sex crimes.
Derek Skelton, 39, was taken into custody by the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force on May 27. He is facing one count of indecent behavior with juveniles and one count of computer-aided solicitation of a minor. His bond has been set at $200,000.
“We are constantly combating the online dangers awaiting the children of this parish and the State of Louisiana,” said Sheriff Jason Ard. “ICAC Investigators are utilizing all investigative tools and forensic skills to keep predators from preying on innocent juvenile users of social media platforms and gaming servers.”
The investigation remains ongoing, according to authorities.
