On June 22, 2025, Patrol Deputies responded to the Tioga Substation for a walk-in complaint of a criminal sexual conduct where the alleged victim was a juvenile. Deputies took the initial report and Sheriff’s Detectives responded to begin their investigation.

Through their investigation, Detectives were able to identify Travante Latrez Williams, 21 of Alexandria, as the suspect.

From their investigation, which consisted of interviews and witness statements, Detectives were able to establish sufficient probable cause that supported the original allegations. On June 30, Detectives obtained warrants for Williams arrest for 2 counts carnal knowledge of a juvenile, indecent behavior with a juvenile and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

On June 30, 2025, Sheriff’s Detectives made contact with Williams at his residence on Lisa Street in Alexandria and he was taken into custody without incident and arrested on the outstanding warrants. Williams was transported and booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center where he remains at the time of this release, being held on a $350,000 bond.

Sheriff’s Detectives say this is still an active, ongoing investigation and more arrests are possible.
