Bossier Sheriff's Office have arrested man during an investigation into allegations of sex offenses involving a former Haughton High School student.

56 year-old Kevin Williams, who was the band director at Haughton High School, was arrested following an investigation that began after an adult victim came forward with information regarding alleged sexual abuse that happened over a period of years while the victim was still in high school and involved in the Haughton High School band.

Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office detectives arrested Williams at the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office Criminal Operations Building.

Williams was taken to the Bossier Parish Maximum Security Facility, where he was booked on 50 counts of molestation of a juvenile and 50 counts of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. His bond has been set at $750,000.

Bossier Schools Superintendent Jason Rowland said the school system is cooperating with the investigation and addressed Williams' employment status.

“We are both shocked and saddened to learn of these charges brought forth and are fully cooperating in this ongoing investigation with the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office. 

Student safety is always our top concern, and we want parents and the Haughton community to know Mr. Williams is no longer an employee of Bossier Schools as of today. It is understandable that students at Haughton High may have questions or concerns, and we encourage them to please talk with our school counselors, who are there for them.”

Anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Williams, or anyone with information relevant to this investigation, is encouraged to contact Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office detectives at 318-965-3418."
