Federal authorities have already implicated Jack Strain in a kickback scheme while he was sheriff of St. Tammany Parish, but sources familiar with that probe say the FBI is investigating far more serious allegations — that the sheriff sexually abused a handful of teenage victims during his 20 years in office.


quote:

The probe into the sexual misconduct allegations began as FBI agents investigated the alleged bribery scheme at a Slidell work-release program that was privatized by Strain late in his tenure, which ended in June 2016.

At least one person said to have been victimized by the ex-sheriff was interviewed in late 2017, according to one of the sources.

The sources said at least four alleged victimsincluding both genders — have been identified by authorities. All were teenagers when the abuse occurred, though it's not clear whether all of them were under the age of consent, which is 17 in Louisiana.


quote:

At least one victim has described the sex as not consensual, regardless of whether he was old enough to consent when the sex allegedly began. The victims have told authorities remarkably similar stories, according to one of the sources.

I always knew BooBoo was a crooked son of a bitch, and was happy when I heard he was being investigated. I didn’t expect this development, however. If true, hang em’ high.

He was at the tip top of the political food chain and now he probably can’t get the dog catcher to return his phone calls. Politics is a dirty business.

Just like the past DA, I guess these guys get corrupted and think they can do whatever they want. I was told the audit when the new Sheriff took over turned up a ton of things that, while not technically illegal, would have really upset the taxpayers. Like a nice offshore fishing boat purchased with Katrina funds.

He always gave off a pedo vibe. Or something. Dude was/is weird.

This actually makes sense.

The Strains, like most old St. Tammany power families, have always been shady. It’s inevitable. The first shady thing I remember BooBoo doing was getting a prime piece of trace property for his house for dirt cheap (unpaid taxes) without it coming up for Sheriff’s auction like it should have. This would have been mid 1990's or so. Maybe a little later.

I remember when we was still a fatty Abita cop.

Jack is a piece of shite. Mike Strain, however, is an incredibly nice person

Wowza. What a POS if true. This is kind of a big thing to write based on "sauces". If this comes out to be false, sux the people reporting it dont get penalized.

Sux for his family

He looks nothing like how I pictured a corrupt raping Southern parish sheriff.

But he does look like a sexual deviant.

He was a nice guy back then. Looking back it’s crazy how much he changed.

I know a few Strains that are great people btw. People like Booboo can destroy whole families reputation

The ex coroner, ex mayor and the ex fire chief, and now the ex Sheriff from St Tammany will all be in jail together

Am I missing anyone?

St Tammany has no business talking shite about Orleans Parish.


ETA: Apparently I missed the former DA as well

Fair enough. I don't mean the whole family is shady; just a couple of the ones who had power in St. Tammany. I know Mike Strain is okay.

This is typical St. Tammany politics with the power people. It's been this way as long as I can remember. As far back as the mid-70's when the town elders of Abita wanted my grandfather to run for Mayor. He considered it, but my grandmother laid down the law - it was either her or politics; he couldn't have both. He chose her! She said later she knew St. Tammany politics was shady as shite, and didn't want him involved in it. His role as a school principal was dicey enough as it was with desegregation and other related shite he had to deal with back then.
