David J. Monier, 50, of Evangeline Parish, was booked into the Evangeline Jail on August 18, 2026, according to the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office's online inmate roster (Booking #260595). The roster lists six charges against Monier: indecent behavior with juveniles (listed twice), contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, sexual battery, oral sexual battery, and molestation of a juvenile.
Louisiana law defines indecent behavior with juveniles, La. R.S. 14:81, as certain lewd or lascivious acts committed against a child under 17 where the offender is more than two years older. Sexual battery (La. R.S. 14:43.1) and oral sexual battery (La. R.S. 14:43.3) involve nonconsensual intentional touching, with enhanced penalties when the alleged victim is younger than 13. Molestation of a juvenile (La. R.S. 14:81.2) involves a lewd or lascivious act committed by force, duress, or a position of authority over a child under 17. Contributing to the delinquency of juveniles (La. R.S. 14:92) is a lesser offense addressing conduct that endangers a minor's welfare. These citations reflect the official Louisiana Revised Statutes and are provided as legal context; the sheriff's office roster does not itself publish charge citations or degrees.
The roster lists bond at $0.00 and does not publish a case or docket number. No additional court record or independent news coverage of this booking has been located as of publication.
Monier has been charged but not convicted. Every person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. No disposition of these charges is publicly recorded.
