A Houma man is facing additional charges as the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office continues investigating allegations involving inappropriate sexual contact with juveniles.
Sheriff Tim Soignet said the investigation originally led to the arrest of 25-year-old Zachariah Jerry Trujillo of Houma.
Detectives with the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit continued investigating and reportedly identified additional juvenile female victims.
On Wednesday, September 9, Trujillo was arrested on additional charges including three counts of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile, computer-aided solicitation of a juvenile, two counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile with the grooming enhancement, and molestation of a juvenile.
Trujillo remains in custody at the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex on a total bond of $1.2 million.
The investigation remains active and ongoing, and authorities say additional information will be released as it becomes available.
Sheriff Soignet is asking anyone with information about the case or potentially related incidents to contact the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Detective Division at 985-876-2500.
