Westwego man arrested on molestation, child porn charges

Westwego man arrested on molestation, child porn charges
Louisiana Attorney General's Office

The Louisiana Attorney General's Office says a Westwego man faces multiple charges involving child molestation and child pornography.

Attorney General Liz Murrill says the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation arrested 61-year-old Darrell Joseph Devenny on one count each of sexual battery, molestation of a juvenile, and indecent behavior with a juvenile, along with 55 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of making child pornography.


Murrill says agents were acting on a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the investigation also involved help from the cyber crimes unit, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

"These are some of the most disturbing cases our LBI agents have to deal with. I'd like to thank the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, Homeland Security Investigations, and our agents for their hard work and dedication on this case," said Murrill. "We will not tolerate anyone harming our children in Louisiana."

The case remains under investigation, and authorities request anyone with information about Devenny to call the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation at (225) 326-6100.
