Trial set for Louisiana man accused of traveling to Arkansas to have sex with teen

PARIS, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The trial for a Louisiana man accused of traveling to Arkansas to have sex with a teenager is set to begin this month, according to court documents.

Christopher Palmer, 19, of Jonesville, La., was charged on Nov. 5, 2024, and arrested on March 7 for one count of sexual indecency with a child and one count of traveling for the purpose of an unlawful sex act with a minor.

Palmer has pleaded not guilty to those charges.

Court documents say that in September 2024, Palmer traveled from Jonesville, La., to Paris, Ark., to meet with a teenager he had spoken with over Snapchat.

Court proceedings have been delayed six times since the original trial date of Jan. 24, as Palmer’s counsel called for additional time to prepare.

Palmer’s trial is set to begin on July 25 at the Logan County Courthouse in Paris.

He is being held in the Logan County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond.
