Covington Man Guilty of Sexual Battery of a Juvenile

District Attorney Warren Montgomery reports that a St. Tammany Parish jury found Gregory Allen Schwaner (51) of Covington guilty Wednesday (March 28, 2018) of two counts of sexual battery on a juvenile.
Schwaner began the abuse when the victim was 12 years old and continued for more than a year until Schwaner was caught in bed with the victim. Schwaner, who testified in his own defense, was unable to provide a legitimate reason why he was in bed with the victim and wearing only underwear.
The case was investigated by STPSO Detective Adam Maillho with assistance from the District Attorney's Office, Hope House and Child Advocacy Center in Covington, and The Audrey Hepburn CARE Center of Children's Hospital in New Orleans.
