Assumption deputy fired after booking on sex crime charge

An Assumption Parish sheriff's deputy has been arrested on a sex crime charge involving a juvenile, the Sheriff's Office said.

Austin Joseph Isibor, 23, Washington Street, Napoleonville, was arrested on two counts of carnal knowledge of a juvenile after a complaint from the father of a teenager, Sheriff Leland Falcon reported Saturday.

Isibor, at the time of his arrest, was an Assumption Parish sheriff’s deputy assigned to the Uniformed Patrol Division, where he had worked since February 2022.

On Friday, detectives responded to the complaint in which it was alleged that the victim had engaged in sexual activity with Isibor at his home. As the investigation progressed, it was determined that Isibor had engaged in similar activity with the same girl in December 2021, again at his residence, the Sheriff's Office said.

Detectives requested and were granted multiple search warrants connected to this matter

As the investigation progressed, detectives obtained arrest warrants for Isibor. Isibor was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center pending a bond hearing.

Isibor was immediately terminated by the sheriff, the office said.

“We hold our employees to the highest of legal standards and no person is above the law when such incidents occur,” Falcon said.
