On January 15, 2025, shortly before 12:00pm, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division were called to a local area hospital after reports of a S*xual Assault surfaced from an over 60-year-old victim, receiving medical treatment.

The Special Victim’s Unit (SVU) were called in to investigate and completed an in-depth interview with the victim. During the interview, Detectives learned that Ortiz transported the victim to the residence to look at a room for rent, inside the home. The victim provided Detectives with a series of disturbing details of a forced S*xual Assault upon her by the perpetrator, while inside the home. The victim sustained injuries that required hospitalization, as a result of the attack.

Detectives made numerous attempts to locate Jose Alfonso Tapia-Ortiz, whose whereabouts remained unknown, until last night, shortly before 8:30 pm, when Authorities located Ortiz near his home.

Jose Alfonso Tapia-Ortiz was later booked into the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex on a charge of Second-Degree R**e. Ortiz remains in custody on a $250,000.00 bond by local judges.

Sheriff Tim Soignet is extremely proud of the investigative efforts of the TPSO Patrol Division and Special Victim’s Unit in solving and arresting this violent offender.

Internet S*x Crimes Task Force Arrests Lafourche Parish Man

HAMMOND (January 30, 2025)- The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has arrested a Lafourche Parish man in the latest Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force activity.

John “Buster” Gisclair, 57 of Raceland, is facing one count each of Indecent Behavior with Juveniles and Computer Aided Solicitation of a Minor.

In late November 2024, Gisclair began communicating online with what he believed to be a child for sexual purposes. Gisclair, known as “Buster,” used filters in the pictures he sent to the TPSO Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit to make his appearance seem younger than his actual age. On Monday, January 27, Gisclair sent sexually explicit photos and videos of himself requesting the same in return.

He was taken into custody by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office and is awaiting transport to the Tangipahoa Parish Jail.

During the investigation, it was learned Gisclair was arrested in 2021 in an undercover sting when he traveled to Berwick to pick up what he thought was a child.

TPSO thanks the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office for their assistance with this case.

This activity is part of TPSO’s partnership with Office of the Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s Office and their ICAC Task Force which includes a collaboration with numerous local law enforcement agencies.
