On August 8, 2024, the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit (LSP SVU), working in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), initiated an investigation pertaining to the sexual exploitation of a minor. Bruce Wells was identified as the suspect that was attempting to engage in sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old juvenile and requested to travel to meet for sexual intercourse with the minor.
On September 28, 2024, Bruce Wells traveled from his residence in Tylertown, MS to Baton Rouge, LA, with the intent to engage in these sexual acts with the minor. As a result, Wells was arrested for Attempted Felony Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile, and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. This case remains active and is ongoing, pending further investigation.
LSP SVU works to rescue and seek justice for the victims of crimes involving the exploitation of children and the trafficking of humans for sex or labor through investigative partnerships with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, and through public education. The public plays an important role in identifying suspects accused of these crimes and is urged to report criminal or suspicious activity. The Louisiana State Police online reporting system is available to the public through an anonymous reporting form that is submitted to the appropriate investigators. The form can be found by visiting http://la-safe.org/ and clicking on the “Suspicious Activity” link.
