BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Deputies arrested a Gonzales man after an investigation into internet crimes against children.

Bryce John Gautreau, 29, was charged with indecent behavior with juveniles and computer-aided solicitation of a minor. His bond was set at $75,000.

According to Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard, Gautreau is accused of communicating online with who he believed was a 15-year-old girl. The sheriff’s office said children ages 12 to 15 are the most susceptible victims, and 89% of sexual advances happen in internet chats.

“The Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) Task Force is constantly combating the online dangers awaiting the children of this parish and the State of Louisiana. ICAC Investigators are utilizing all investigative tools and forensic skills to keep predators from preying on innocent juvenile users on social media platforms and gaming servers,” Ard said.

The Federal Trade Commission has resources for parents about how to talk to kids about internet safety.
