Oakdale Man Arrested for Possession of Child Pornography

On August 6, 2013, agents with the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations and the Oakdale Police Department executed a search warrant at the residence of 61-year-old Timothy L. Wade of Oakdale in Allen Parish. At the time of the search, computers and software were seized for a detailed forensic examination.

The warrant was the result of an Operation Child Watch investigation initiated by State Police detectives involving child pornography downloaded at the residence.

An initial examination of the computers revealed the presence of child pornography files. During questioning, Wade admitted to downloading child pornography. Wade was then booked into the Allen Parish Jail.

If convicted, Wade faces up to a $50,000 fine and from five to twenty years in prison without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence.

The mission of Operation Child Watch is to rescue children from the potential abuse of child predators by targeting those individuals with sexually explicit images and/or videos on their computers. This is an ongoing effort, in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies.
