Collin Sims, Interim DA, reports that 40 YO Benjamin Edward Evers from Covington pled guilty yesterday to 200 counts of child pornography.
He was sentenced to 10 years in prison by District Judge William H. Burris.
In September of 2021, Special Agent April Lucia with the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation received multiple cyber tip reports from The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) that indicated that the defendant had uploaded images later determined to be child porn to a cloud-based storage service. Lucia obtained a search warrant for the defendant’s Covington residence and executed the warrant in February of 2022.
As a result of the search warrant, more than 200 images and videos were found on the defendant’s cell phone.
Assistant District Attorney Fred Treschwig prosecuted the case.
