child pornography

48-year-old Anthony Sal Melancon, Jr. of St. Martinville has been sentenced to ten years in prison after the husband of a woman he was having an affair with turned him in for sending her child pornographic images.

24-year-old Jared Tyler Olivier of Lafayette has been sentenced to 80 months in federal prison, followed by 10 years probation, on one count of transportation of child pornography.

The woman was arrested at her home before noon on Monday.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says the case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a program aimed at stopping child abuse and the sexual exploitation of children.

Anyone knowing about any of this type of activity can report it to the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation at 800-256-4506.

The man was arrested on child pornography charges and failing to register as a sex offender.
