A Dubach man has been taken into custody on multiple felony charges involving child pornography and is currently being held at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center.
The Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation, arrested John Raymond Houck, 37, as part of an ongoing investigation into several serious criminal offenses.
Houck was first arrested on March 20 and charged with one count of indecent behavior with a juvenile. As investigators continued to develop evidence, additional charges were filed on March 23 and 25. Charges now include 20 counts of possession of child sexual abuse material, crime against nature (sexual abuse of an animal), indecent behavior with juveniles, and obstruction of justice.
Houck is also being held for probation violation.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Detectives are continuing to evaluate evidence and follow up on all leads to ensure a comprehensive case is prepared for prosecution.
Sheriff Williams expressed appreciation to the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation, as well as the Union Parish Sheriff’s Office, for their assistance in this investigation. “Strong interagency cooperation is critical to the success of our efforts to keep our communities and the State of Louisiana safe,” said Sheriff Williams.
Houck’s bail was set at $700,000.
