LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent News Release – Region 2 January 14, 2011 **UPDATE** Sulphur Man Faces Additional Sexual Predator Charges SULPHUR – On January 14, 2011, after developing additional information, detectives with the Lake Charles Field Office of the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations charged 34-year-old Jamy Church of Sulphur with an additional 33 counts of computer-aided solicitation of a minor. Church was originally arrested on January 6, 2011 by State Police detectives for pornography involving juveniles. Thus far, the investigation has uncovered 33 juvenile victims from Southwest Louisiana with the possibility of additional victims in Texas and other areas of Louisiana. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations and the Texas Rangers are assisting with the investigation. During an interview, Church admitted to posing as a female by the name of “Hope Smith” in various chat rooms. Church would engage in sexually explicit conversations with juvenile males via the chat rooms. Church enticed some of the juvenile males into sending sexually explicit photographs and videos of themselves by using a female persona. A forensic examination of Church’s computer revealed various personas using the same technique of posing as a female and chatting with juvenile males.
