Investigators in Lafourche Parish say new evidence has led to animal sex charges against a couple already charged with crimes including rape, molesting children and child porn.
"Detectives found 96 videos of humans engaged in sexual acts with animals," according to a news release from the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office today. "Jorden and Jennie Theriot are now each charged with 96 counts of sexual abuse of an animal."
The couple from Cut Off also faces drug and gun charges.
It all started last month.
"In July 2024, juvenile detectives began investigating a report of possible sexual abuse involving the Theriots and more than one child."
That led to charges of first degree rape, pornography involving juveniles, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, illegal carrying of a weapon in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, obstruction of justice, possession of Valium, possession of Xanax, possession of morphine, and possession of marijuana.
"Both were allegedly involved in sexual acts with children. The investigation led to detectives obtaining search warrants for two residences which turned up 14 firearms, a large amount of ammunition, narcotics and child pornography."
Bail for Jorden Theriot is now set at $1,780,500. Bail for Jennie Theriot is now set at $2,205,500.
"This investigation is continuing. Due to the nature of the investigation, no further information is available at this time."
