A 61-year-old Church Point man, Patrick Guillory Jr., has been charged with three counts of sexual battery involving three separate juveniles under the age of 10, according to St. Landry Parish Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz in a news release.
Guidroz said on June 28, detectives investigated the case and determined that Guillory had touched the juveniles on their genital areas.
“The three juveniles were interviewed and examined with the assistance of the St. Landry / Evangeline Sexual Assault Center and key evidence was obtained to warrant the investigation,” Guidroz said.
“Guillory told detectives that this was a personal matter and he did not recall ever touching any juveniles. Patrick Guillory Jr. was then arrested and booked at the parish jail,” Guidroz said.
Guidroz added, “This is the third juvenile case in a month where an adult is either having sexual conversations with a juvenile or committing sexual acts on juveniles. More and more juveniles are coming forward and speaking to their parents about inappropriate actions being done to them. Parents are urged to continue to speak to their kids and keep a watchful eye on anyone you have around your kids. Upon hearing anything out of the ordinary, report it immediately to the authorities.”
Bail was set at $30,000 for Guillory, of the 100 block of Oliver Road, Guidroz said.
