From Louisiana State Police, Baton Rouge – On October 8, 2019, investigators from the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit – Baton Rouge Field Office arrested an East Baton Rouge Parish man after they learned of his participation in child exploitation on a social media app. 50-year-old Jeffery Walter Scott Green of Baton Rouge was arrested for charges related to computer-aided solicitation for sexual purposes of a juvenile and attempted felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile.

The initial investigation began earlier this month when Investigators began an undercover child exploitation case. During the course of the investigation, Green was identified as having an online conversation with an undercover State Trooper posing as a juvenile. Green further solicited and agreed to meet the juvenile for sex. Yesterday afternoon, Troopers took Green into custody after he arrived at a meeting location where he agreed to meet the juvenile for the purpose of having sex.

Green was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Jail for violating LRS 14:81.3 Computer-Aided Solicitation for Sexual Purposes and LRS 14:80 Attempted Felony Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile. This remains an active investigation, and there is no further information available at this time.
