On Sept. 16 the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office received a complaint regarding Jacob L. Hastings, 27, of Sulphur, having inappropriate sexual contact with a 16-year-old-girl, who was a family acquaintance.
The victim told detectives she had sex with Hastings on numerous occasions from May until August. The victim also told detectives that Hastings asked her to send inappropriate photographs of herself to him. Detectives performed a forensic examination of Hastings’ cell phone and found several videos and nude photographs of the victim. It was also learned that Hastings sent inappropriate photographs of himself to the 16-year-old.
On Oct. 20 detectives interviewed Hastings and an investigator says Hastings confirmed the allegations.
Hastings, who was already incarcerated at the Calcasieu Correctional Center on unrelated charges, was charged with 5 counts of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile; and 5 counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile.
Judge Guy Bradberry set his bond at $250,000.
