Lafourche Parish Sheriff's deputies arrested a registered sex offender after investigators say he sent lewd messages to a juvenile female.
40-year-old Roland Bruce Jr., of Cut Off is charged with Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile.
Cops responded to a complaint involving a juvenile at a Larose residence, Saturday evening around 5:15 p.m. Upon arrival, deputies learned Roland Bruce Jr. had reportedly been sending text messages which were sexual in nature to a minor teenage girl. Bruce had also requested the girl send nude photos to him, but she did not comply.
Following an investigation, deputies contacted Bruce at his Cut Off residence and placed him under arrest. He was charged with one count of Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile and booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux. His bail is set at $75,000.
Bruce was forced to register as a sex offender following his October 2001 conviction for Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile.
