Louisiana State Police have an ongoing investigation of 41-year-old Julian "Trey" Aucoin III of Rayne after allegations were made against the man, saying he sexually abused a child under the age of 13, according to a statement released by the agency. In addition, our news partners at KATC-TV3 have reported that this is the fourth time Aucoin has been charged with child abuse charges since 2021.

Trooper First Class, the Spokeswoman for Louisiana State Police in this region, says this investigation began on Monday, November 4, after a criminal complaint was made against Aucoin. According to KATC,

Aucoin already is out on bond for three different child sex abuse cases; he's posted $250,000 bond twice, and $500,000 once, records show.

Detectives with the Special Victims Unit within Louisiana State Police, along with other law enforcement, arrested Aucoin this week on the latest charges. Bourque wrote the following as part of the public press release,

Detectives discovered Aucoin participated in numerous acts of forced sexual contact with the minor over the span of two years.

Aucion was booked into the Acadia Parish Jail on Tuesday, November 26, on the following charges:
