Maurepas, Louisiana – In a coordinated effort between local and federal law enforcement, a Louisiana woman has been arrested and charged with multiple offenses related to child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The investigation, led by the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit (LSP SVU) in collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), began after authorities received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

According to officials, on May 20, 2025, the LSP SVU opened an investigation into the production and possession of CSAM. Investigators identified Christy Babin, 39, of Maurepas, Louisiana as the individual allegedly responsible for possessing illicit images involving juveniles.

The investigation was launched after NCMEC reported concerns about possible child exploitation. NCMEC is a national nonprofit that assists law enforcement in cases involving missing and exploited children, often serving as a central point for tips from the public and internet service providers.

On May 29, 2025, authorities executed a search warrant at Babin’s residence. During the search, evidence was discovered that led to Babin’s arrest on one count of Possession of Pornography Involving Juveniles under the age of 13. In Louisiana law, this charge refers to knowingly possessing visual material that depicts children under 13 in sexually explicit situations, which is a serious felony offense.

Further investigation revealed that Babin was not only in possession of the illicit images but also participated in their creation. As a result, she was additionally charged with Production of Pornography Involving Juveniles, a more severe charge that involves creating or facilitating the creation of sexually explicit images of minors. Babin was subsequently booked into the Livingston Parish Jail.

At this time, the case remains under active investigation, and authorities have not released further details about the victims or the specific circumstances of the alleged offenses.

An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
