U.S. Attorney Duane Evans announced that 24 YO Brock Taylor Guillot of Slidell was charged last week by a federal grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of Louisiana in a one-count indictment with possession of images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of children.
He faces a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty (20) years and also faces up to a lifetime of supervised release, up to a $250,000 fine, and he can be required to register as a sex offender.
U.S. Attorney Evans reiterated that an indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
