A Grand Cane man is facing numerous felony charges after an investigation by the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office uncovered thousands of files containing alleged child sexual abuse material, according to authorities.
The investigation began after the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) through the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation within the Office of the Louisiana Attorney General.
The tip involved the suspected online distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
Following an investigation, detectives identified Davis Jerry Sepulvado Jr., 55, of Grand Cane, as the individual allegedly responsible for distributing the material online.
Sepulvado was arrested and booked into the DeSoto Parish Detention Center on June 9, 2026, on five counts related to Child Sexual Abuse Material.
Authorities said the investigation continued after the arrest. A forensic examination of electronic devices seized during the case allegedly revealed an additional 2,203 files containing Child Sexual Abuse Material, as well as six files related to the alleged possession of material depicting sexual abuse of an animal.
Based on those findings, investigators presented Sepulvado with additional charges on June 15, 2026.
The DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office said it remains committed to investigating crimes involving the exploitation of children and pursuing those responsible.
Sheriff’s officials also expressed appreciation to the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office and its investigators for their assistance throughout the investigation.
Cases involving Child Sexual Abuse Material are often initiated through tips received by the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children, a national organization that works with law enforcement agencies to identify and investigate crimes involving the online exploitation of children.
The investigation remains ongoing.
An arrest is an indication that law enforcement believes probable cause exists that a crime has been committed. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
