Kenneth Jurls - Repeat Sex Offender - Busted along with 8 others

Louisiana state police troopers have had a busy week. In a state wide sweep they arrested nine people from all over the state most in connection with child pornography as part of a operation they are calling 'Child Watch".

Of those arrested is 21 year old Jerrod Williams. He is accused of having child porn on his computer. The only man from Shreveport, he was taken into custody from his dorm room at Centenary College.



Rick Delahaya a spokesperson for Centenary College says he is no longer a student here. "We are cooperating with authorities and we did cooperate with authorities when they served the search warrant other than that I really can't make any other comments because it really is an ongoing investigation."

Police arrested 23 year old Brandon Josey of Bossier City at his home also accused of having child porn on his computer.


State police arrested Kenneth Jurls while he attended a sex offender meeting. The Bossier man has been arrested for child porn once and is registered as a child sex offender. One neighbor who wouldn't go on camera says she's known the boy for years and for years she says he's had problems. "He use to hang around my son, and now that this has happened. This isn't good for the neighborhood."

Robert Miller was also arrested from northwest Louisiana and so far he has only been charged with possession of cocaine. He is out on a $15,500 bond.
