In July, detectives with the Louisiana State Police Special Victim’s Unit (LSP SVU) began an investigation into sex crimes involving a minor, which resulted in the arrest of 58-year-old David Woodson of Opelousas.
As the investigation progressed, detectives secured an arrest warrant for Woodson from the St. Landry Parish 27th Judicial District Court for aggravated crimes against naturem, sexual battery of a victim under 13, and molestation of a juvenile.
On Aug. 8, detectives executed the arrest warrant and took Woodson into custody at his residence.
Woodson was taken to the St. Landry Parish Detention Center where he was processed on the charges. This investigation remains active and ongoing.
