Details are limited but here is what we know.

Randy Miller Jr. of Denham Springs was arrested Tuesday morning and has been charged with 500 counts of pornography involving a juvenile under the age of 13.

Child pornography is a dreadful crime that inflicts lifelong damage to the victims. So I applaud my office and our law enforcement partners for finding and arresting the despicable people who possess, distribute, and produce these horrific sexual abuse images and videos.”
