Ouachita Parish elementary school teacher arrested after undercover FBI, State Police sex trafficking operation

UPDATE: On September 24, 2025, the Louisiana State Police and the FBI began an undercover operation focused on the sexual trafficking of minors in and around Monroe, La. Law enforcement officers worked in an undercover capacity and posted an undercover advertisement on a commonly known website used for the sale of commercial sexual intercourse.

The ad contained photos of two Undercover Law Enforcement Officers (UC’s) with the caption: “Sexy hot girls in town for a few days incalls only. Me and my mini are in townnn hit us upp. NO POLICE.” The ad contained four photos of the UC’s with emojis placed over their faces and a phone number they could be reached at.

At 4:09 PM, the suspect, Boris Braggs, messaged the number regarding the ad asking if they were available. The UC explained she was unavailable, but her ‘mini’ was available. She went in detail that her ‘mini’ was 15 years old. Braggs responded, “U must b trying to get me put in jail. I sent her a message we will see if she responds.”

The UC posing as the 15-year-old female received a message from Braggs shortly after, “Hey how r u?” He went on to say he was looking to “hook up later however I was told your age and I’m like I’m not trying to get in trouble.” He asked about the meet-up being full service (street slang for sexual intercourse). Braggs asked for full-body photos and monetary rates. After being told the range of prices, Braggs said he was nervous due to her age, but asked her what she would do sexually.

After an explicit exchange, Braggs expressed his nervousness again about her age, following up by asking if the planned meeting would be a setup. Braggs confirmed the UC sex worker was in the Monroe area and confirmed an appointment/meetup at 9:30 PM.

At 8:45 PM, Braggs arrived at the pre-determined meetup spot for the purpose of engaging in commercial sexual activity for the agreed price from what he believed to be a 15-year-old female. He was then detained by awaiting law enforcement.

Based on the information above, a warrant was requested for Braggs for the crimes of Relative to Trafficking Children for Sex, Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile, Relative to Computer-aided Solicitation of a Juvenile, and Relative to Attempted Felony Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile.

Braggs is currently being held at a detention center with no bond.
