The St. Martin Sheriff s Office has a detective assigned to investigate allegations of sexual abuse of a minor.
Yesterday, the Diocese confirmed that Deacon Shawn Jude Gautreaux of St. Bernard Catholic Church in Breaux Bridge had been placed on leave following allegations of abuse that dated back before he became a deacon.
After issuing public records requests to St. Martin Parish law enforcement, KATC learned that it was the St. Martin Sheriff s Office that is investigating the case.
SNAP, the Survivor s Network, issued a statement on the investigation. It is what the Diocese of Lafayette is not sharing that concerns us. Our view is that vital information is disclosed about how long Deacon Gautreaux has served at St. Bernard Parish? Important information relating to his ordination date, programs, or committees he participated in is vital to informing the parish community and the community as a whole, a release from SNAP states.

ST. MARTINVILLE, La. (WAFB) - NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, has been booked into jail in St. Martin Parish after being taken into custody.
In September, YoungBoy and 16 others were arrested on drug and firearm charges while filming a music video in his hometown. Following a vehicle search, law enforcement allegedly found handguns, rifles, drugs, $47,000 in cash, jewelry and a $300,000 check.
“Kentrell is not guilty of any crimes,” his attorney James Manasseh said in a statement at the time. “There’s nothing in the report that indicates that he did anything wrong. They arrested several people and there was no indication that he had any guns or drugs on him at the time of the arrest. I ultimately believe he will be found innocent in all of this.”
