KENNER
– On May 6, 2008, at 6:00
p.m., Jesse S. Lemoine, age 19, of 153 Eugenie Drive, Duson
Louisiana, was arrested for one (1) count of computer-aided
solicitation for sexual purposes, and four (4) counts indecent
behavior with juveniles.
The
undercover operation began in September 12, 2007, when a Kenner
detective went into an online chat room posing as a juvenile
female from Kenner. Lemoine, who used the screen name “boiisexi,”
contacted the detective. From the onset, Lemoine knew he was
chatting with a juvenile female. During the course of the chat,
Lemoine solicited to have sex with the juvenile female. Lemoine
then invited the juvenile female to view his webcam. Lemoine
sent images of himself masturbating, via the webcam.
On May 6,
2008, Kenner Detectives, Lafayette Parish Sherriff’s Deputies,
and Investigators from the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office
arrested Lemoine at his residence in Dunson, Louisiana.
Lemoine was
also wanted by Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office for
computer-aided solicitation for sexual purposes.
If
convicted, Lemoine will be required to register as a sex
offender and faces imprisonment for not less than two (2) years
or more than ten (10) years. With multiple charges, however the
sentence could be up to twenty-five (25) years.
The
investigation and arrest were made possible by the utilization
of equipment donated to the Kenner Police Department by the
Federal Bureau of Investigations, specifically for this type of
investigation. The Kenner Police Department has been and will
continue aggressively going after individuals who use the
Internet to sexually exploit juveniles from the city of Kenner.
This is the
42nd such arrest by the Kenner Police Department.
