A convicted sex offender is in deep trouble with the law once again as he now finds himself at the heart of a human trafficking case in St. Landry Parish.
The investigation was a joint effort with undercover agents from the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office Narcotics & Vice Task Force, the Northwest Louisiana Human Trafficking Task Force, and the FBI.
The bill would allow judges to better steer victims to support services, rather than jail for drug crimes or prostitution that are tied to trafficking.
According to State Police Trpr. Stephen Hammons, detectives conducted a two-week investigation into 48-year-old Lorrie Anderson on a tip that she allegedly engaged in "sexual activity with more than one child relative."
37-year-old Katherine Vidrine of Lafayette is now behind bars after Louisiana State Police say she allegedly used a child under the age of 12 to engage in sexual acts for money. She was arrested at her home in Lafayette.
