Appeal Denied In Lafayette Human Trafficking Case

A district judge turned thumbs down to a motion to appeal a grand jury indictment against Lorrie Anderson for human trafficking, aggravated rape and aggravated incest.

A Lafayette grand jury panel indicted Anderson on the charges last month after allegations that she used a now 14-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl for a two year period between 2009-2011.

State Police allege Anderson of taking at least one victim to a Lafayette Parish location to engage in sex for money.

After a two week investigation Anderson was arrested, and she has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

She is still being held in the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on a $100,000 bond.

A pretrial hearing in her case is scheduled for Thursday.
