Attorney General Liz Murrill Announces 60 Registered Sex Offenders Arrested in Operation Restricted Domain Throughout Greater Baton Rouge Area

BATON ROUGE, La. — Attorney General Liz Murrill today announced the arrest of 60 registered sex offenders as part of “Operation Restricted Domain,” a two-month, multi-agency operation led by her Louisiana Bureau of Investigation targeting offenders who violated Louisiana sex offender registration laws and engaged in unlawful online activity.

Investigators used secure law enforcement databases and other resources to identify registered sex offenders in violation of Louisiana law and registration requirements. 

Through coordinated enforcement across the Greater Baton Rouge area, 60 offenders were arrested. Investigations are ongoing, and additional charges are expected.

“Operation Restricted Domain was a major success and sends a clear message: there are no safe havens in Louisiana for those who prey on children. We will find you, we will arrest you, and we will bring you to justice,” said Attorney General Liz Murrill.

Since taking office in January 2024, Murrill noted that Louisiana’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force has expanded from 8 to more than 80 partner agencies statewide.

This year alone, through May 10, Louisiana has received nearly 27,000 cyber tips, compared to more than 31,000 cyber tips received in all of 2025. The ICAC Task Force and Cyber Crime Unit have made a total of 292 arrests, identified 36 child victims, and rescued 32 children from ongoing abuse investigations just this year.

Attorney General Murrill also urged parents to closely monitor their children’s online activity, emphasizing that law enforcement cannot do this alone and that parents are the first line of defense.

“This is not the conclusion — it is just the beginning of our ongoing fight for a safer Louisiana for all of our children,” said Attorney General Murrill.

Participating agencies included: Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, East Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office, Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office, Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office, Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff’s Office, St. Helena Parish Sheriff’s Office, West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office, West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office; Homeland Security Investigations, Louisiana State Police, and the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections, Division of Probation and Parole; along with District Attorney Hillar Moore’s Office, District Attorney Tony Clayton’s Office, District Attorney Scott Perrilloux’s Office, District Attorney Ricky Babin’s Office, and District Attorney Sam D’Aquilla’s Office, which will likely handle most of the prosecutions.
