Gonzales man pleads guilty to sexual battery, simple burglary
Staff Report
A 31-year-old Gonzales man pled guilty to sexual battery and simple burglary last week, according to a release from the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Jeffery David, of 14308 Summerset Dr., was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Leila Braswell. Judge Jason Verdigets presided.
The guilty plea was a result of a plea agreement with prosecutors following a 2018 sexual assault investigation, according to the release.
Ascension Parish deputies responded to a Gonzales residence Jan. 1, 2018, in reference to a sexual assault. Detectives arrived on scene and made contact with the victim, who advised that as she was falling asleep, a male whom the victim knew as Jeffery David made entry into the residence without permission, entered the victim’s bedroom, and committed a sexual battery on the victim.
