AG Jeff Landry’s Office
Successfully Prosecutes Livingston Parish Case
BATON ROUGE, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry issued
the following statement after his office obtained a unanimous jury conviction
of Melanie Curtin on charges of aggravated rape and video voyeurism:
"Today, justice was served to Melanie Curtin by a
jury of her peers in Livingston Parish. I pray her conviction provides some
healing and closure to the crime victim.
This jury’s verdict is the culmination of bravery by the
crime victim; an exceptional prosecution by my Assistant Attorneys General

Guidry, Forensic Analyst Brian Wilson, and our Cyber Crime Unit; and excellent
work by Victims Advocate Kristen Martin, Supervisory Special Agent Andrew
