Joint Investigation Leads to Two Child Exploitation Arrests

An investigation into child exploitation by the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit, working in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office, concluded with the arrest of 23-year-old Caden A. Rampino of Covington and 25-year-old Justin K. Dixon of Plaucheville. 

Each individual was charged with Indecent Behavior with Juveniles and Computer-aided Solicitation of a 
Minor. In addition to the above charges, Dixon was booked on Attempted Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile. Both were booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center on June 26, 2025. These cases remain under investigation.
