A correctional officer who had previously worked in Ascension Parish was taken into custody on Tuesday after he was accused of sexually assaulting a minor.
The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office reported that Kaid Delaune, who was 35 years old at the time, was employed by the agency until October 2022. Due to his poor performance on the job, he was terminated, according to a spokeswoman.
A victim came forward in February of 2024, which prompted the opening of an investigation into Delaune.” Deputies were informed by a juvenile female that Delaune had inappropriately touched her over the course of a specified length of time.
In addition to being arrested, he was indicted by a grand jury for the crime of molestation of a minor. In accordance with a bond of $300,000, he is currently being held in the Ascension Parish Jail.
