Strain is accused of committing aggravated rape against one victim between June 1, 1979, and July 19, 1980, and against another victim between Jan. 1, 1975, and Sept. 8, 1981, the indictment shows. Strain would have been 12 years old in January 1975.

The former sheriff is accused of committing aggravated incest on a third victim and committing indecent behavior with the same victim, all between April 1, 1996, and July 1, 2002. In addition, he is accused of committing aggravated incest and sexual battery against a fourth victim on or about June 1, 2004.

Also, an interesting quote from current Sheriff Randy Smith:

Not only did we assist in the criminal investigation of the former sheriff, but I was also duty-bound to determine if any of the sheriff’s associates or colleagues were complicit or aware of any of the information that we learned upon investigating.

The revelations led me to make several changes in the upper ranks of the Sheriff’s Office.

There is no room for a good ole’ boys’ network in law enforcement, especially one that may be willing to put friendship over law.

So he was 12 the first time and 15 the second? Then a fifteen year break before the next ones?

Louisiana makes it really hard to have any respect for law enforcement.

Remember back in the day when it was just the Orleans Parish leaders that were corrupt and the Jefferson and St Tammany leaders were kind of boring? Good times.
