Juvenile crime detectives have arrested a 19-year-old Galliano man after he allegedly had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl and had pornographic pictures of a 16-year-old.
Benjamin Griffin was taken into custody on Monday.
Detectives learned the two had exchanged photos and messages of a sexual nature with each other and that Griffin would sneak into the girl’s home at night and the two would engage in sexual intercourse.
The investigation uncovered Griffin had nude photographs of the 16-year-old girl.
Detectives made attempts to speak with Griffin about these incidents, but he refused to meet.
The Detectives then obtained a warrant for his arrest.
Griffin was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Center.
He was charged with felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile, computer-aided solicitation for sexual purposes, and pornography involving juveniles.
Bail is set at $250,000.
