Barksdale Airforce Airman Arrested On Sex Crimes

Police in Jefferson Davis Parish have arrested an airman at Barksdale Air Force Base after he allegedly behaved inappropriately with who he thought was a 13-year-old girl.

Sheriff's deputies say William Simon struck up a conversation with an undercover agent posing as the girl online.

Simon has been charged with two counts of computer aided solicitation of a minor, four counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile, and two counts of producing child pornography.

He was first booked into Bossier City Jail before being transferred to Jefferson Davis Parish without bond.
