A 19-year-old former St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl and attempting to have sex with another 16-year-old girl was jailed Monday on the charges, St. Mary Parish Sheriff Mark Hebert said in a news release.
—Preston Cuvillier Jr., 19, of the 500 block of Levee Road in Morgan City, was arrested at 3:36 p.m. Monday on a warrant for carnal knowledge of a juvenile and on a warrant for attempted carnal knowledge of a juvenile. On Thursday, the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office received a complaint on a deputy regarding computer aided solicitation of a juvenile and began an investigation, Hebert said.
The detective assigned to the case discovered that Cuvillier engaged in sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old female at a residence in Morgan City. The detective also learned during the investigation that Cuvillier sent text messages to a second 16-year-old female in an attempt to have sex with her, the sheriff said.
Cuvillier came to the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office in Morgan City in reference to the investigation and was subsequently arrested on the warrants. Cuvillier was jailed with no bail set. He was later transferred to another jurisdiction, Hebert said.
St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office Spokeswoman Traci Landry said, “I can’t talk about specifically any disciplinary action if it was taken or not, but I can tell you that currently he is not an employee with our office.”
Hebert reported responding to 40 complaints in the parish.
