Winn Parish Child Pornography Arrest

Investigators from the Louisiana State Police and Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested David Cannon, (W/M 30 yrs) of 154 Jack French Road, Winnfield, LA, this past Thursday for possessing child pornography images. Investigators described the images as some of the most horrifying and sickening images ever seen. Cannon was charged with Possession of Child Pornography and booked into the Winn Parish Jail. His bond was set at one million dollars.

The Louisiana State Police is committed to investigating and arresting those who sexually exploit and victimize children. On Thursday, January 15, 2009, the Louisiana State Police collaborated with local and federal law enforcement agencies and prosecutors and executed a search warrant in Winn Parish. This effort is in support of Governor Jindal’s public safety initiative. The search warrant yielded the seizure of several computers and numerous photo albums, CD/DVDs, and 3 ½-inch floppy diskettes. These items contained thousands of pornographic and sexually explicit images of children ranging in age from infancy to approximately fifteen years of age.

Louisiana State Police, Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Winn Parish District Attorney’s Office are working in conjunction with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana, Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, and other law enforcement agencies throughout the country to identify all victims and suspects linked to Cannon.

Some of the evidence/statements gathered are leading investigators to believe that there is a very high probability that there are victims that Cannon has come in contact with personally. These victims are urged to come forward and contact authorities.

The investigation is ongoing and additional state and federal charges are likely.
