The Union Parish Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in an investigation involving sexual crimes involving a juvenile.
In April 2026, Union Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives received information regarding possible inappropriate sexual conduct between a juvenile and Blade Dawson Langley, 24, of Farmerville. UPSO investigators began an investigation and obtained a search warrant for Langley’s cell phone.
Following the execution of the search warrant on the cell phone, investigators located evidence indicating attempts to delete apps, images, and video content. A forensic review of the device revealed a significant amount of explicit content, along with internet search activity and browsing history consistent with illegal sexual material involving minors.
UPSO investigators recovered multiple videos depicting juveniles that appeared to have been recorded without consent, in private settings. Further investigation revealed that Langley had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a juvenile under the age of 10. At the time of this crime, Langley was 21 years old.
On April 15, 2026, Langley was taken into custody and booked into the Union Parish Detention Center. He is charged with Video Voyeurism (12 cts.), Creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material, Molestation of a Juvenile, and Obstruction of Justice.
Langley’s bond was set at $520,000. This case remains under investigation.
