FORMER ASCENSION PARISH SHERIFF’S OFFICE DEPUTY SENTENCED TO 234 MONTHS FOR RECEIPT OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
Todd Eric Tripp, age 35, of Sorrento, Louisiana, was sentenced to 234 months in federal prison following his conviction for receipt of child pornography. Tripp must serve five years of supervised release upon completing his term of imprisonment, and he must complete sex offender treatment. The Court also ordered Tripp to pay $9,000 in restitution and ordered him to register as a sex offender upon his release.
Tripp, a former Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office Deputy, used a multimedia instant messaging application to obtain child pornography from multiple victims. From March 2020 and continuing until October 2020, Tripp received at least 15 images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Tripp was previously convicted and sentenced for child sexual exploitation and abuse crimes.
This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the York County, South Carolina Sheriff’s Office. This case was prosecuted by Deputy Criminal Chief Edward H. Warner and Criminal Chief Jamie A. Flowers Jr.
