3rd Bossier Man Arrested With Brother & Father For Sex Abuse
If the allegations prove true and juries rule these guys are guilty of their charges, this could turn out to be one of the sickest "family affairs" in the history of Northwest Louisiana.
This past Monday, April 25, 2022, Bossier Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested a third Bossier City man for possessing multiple pornographic child sexual abuse images. This arrest comes after his dad and twin brother’s arrest for felony sexual abuse charges involving juveniles and for possessing multiple pornographic child sexual abuse images.
In the report from BPSO we learn that Michael D. Hinton, 41, of the 6200 block of Hollyhock Lane in Bossier City, was arrested for possessing child sexual abuse images and or distributing sexual abuse involving animals.
After detectives obtained and executed a search warrant during their initial investigation of Lester Cheveallier’s residence on March 11, they performed a forensic examination of a shared computer in the home. That investigation revealed that Clayton had also downloaded child pornography and sexual abuse involving animals. He was arrested and charged with 150 counts of Pornography involving Juveniles and eight counts of Sexual Abuse of an Animal. He was booked into the Bossier Maximum-Security Facility with a bond set for $1,700,000.00.
Stemming from his original arrest, Lester Cheveallier’s charges have been upgraded after a more thorough forensic examination of his computer. He now has 343 counts of Pornography Involving Juveniles and one count of Sexual Abuse of an Animal. His bond is now set at $3,865,000.00. He is currently housed in the Bossier Max.
After his original arrest, detectives have also upgraded Clayton D. Hinton’s charges to 56 counts of Pornography Involving Juveniles and one count of Sexual Abuse of an Animal. His bond is now set at $610,000.00, and he is also housed at the Bossier Max.
This matter is still under investigation. Detectives with the Bossier Sheriff’s Office continue to aggressively investigate child sexual abuse cases with the ICAC team, the Attorney General’s Office, and with the aid of the latest technology. They encourage anyone with information regarding this crime or any other crimes against children to contact the Bossier Sheriff’s Office at (318) 965-2203.
