Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre announced the arrest of a Bourg man for fondling a juvenile. Sandy Dye, 44, of Bourg is charged with Sexual Battery in the investigation.

Last week, juvenile detectives began investigating Dye after receiving a report that he had inappropriate sexual contact with a child under the age of 13. Investigators made contact with Dye on Monday, February 25, and questioned him about the alleged incident. Following questioning, Dye was placed under arrest.

Dye was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex in Thibodaux. He was charged with Sexual Battery (Forcible Fondling). His bail is set at $100,000.

Due to the nature of the allegations and the age of the victim, no further details can be made available at this time.
