TROOP D NEWS RELEASE

Troopers Arrest Four People for Criminal Behavior with a Juvenile

CALCASIEU PARISH—Late last month, the Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division was advised of an incident that was alleged to have occurred earlier in the month of June at Delta Downs Racetrack, Casino and Hotel near Vinton with a licensed racing employee victim.

Troopers conducted an investigation into the allegations and determined jockeys at the race track threw buckets of ice water on a juvenile male victim and sprayed shaving cream on him. The suspects then carried the victim into the jockey's locker room and held him down on the floor. While several suspects held the victim down, one of the suspects used a pair of electric clippers to shave off the victim’s eyebrows and shave gaps into his hair. Another suspect used a shaving razor and shaved the remainder of the victim’s eyebrows off. After shaving the victim’s eyebrows off, another suspect pulled the victim’s pants down and threw hot sauce on his genitals.

A video of the victim being sexually harassed, with his genitals exposed, was posted onto Facebook and supports the victim’s allegations.

On July 5, 2017, Louisiana State Police Troopers secured arrest warrants for individuals who participated in the incident and made the following arrests:

Miguel Tejeda, 40, Stockdale, TX — criminal conspiracy, aggravated battery, sexual battery, video voyeurism.
Juan Garcia, 42, Manvel, TX — criminal conspiracy, aggravated battery, sexual battery, video voyeurism.
Damian Martinez, 23, San Antonio, TX — criminal conspiracy, aggravated battery, sexual battery, video voyeurism.
Rolando Cabrera, 32, Brookshire, TX — criminal conspiracy, aggravated battery, sexual battery, video voyeurism.

These individuals were booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center. The investigation is continuing and additional arrests are possible.
