Shreveport Man Convicted in Prolonged Sex Crime Case

Shreveport, Louisiana – In a high-profile case, local resident Rory Chevalier Pipkin has been found guilty of committing sex crimes against a child over a course of several years.

Verdict Delivered After Lengthy Deliberation

After a deliberation extending over three hours, the jury passed a guilty verdict against Pipkin for third-degree rape. It has emerged that he was living with his girlfriend and her minor daughter from January 2017 until early June 2019. In this period, he subjected the child to forced sex acts when they were alone.

The child disclosed the abuse to her grandmother while on a summer break away from Pipkin. This led to an immediate police investigation followed by Pipkin’s arrest. Several crucial pieces of evidence and testimonials were presented during the trial. This included the child’s harrowing account of the abuse, her grandmother’s testimony, and expert insights from professionals specializing in child abuse pediatrics and forensic examination.

Now that Pipkin has been found guilty, he stands to face up to a 25-year imprisonment term without the option of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence. Also, he will be mandated to register as a sex offender for a lifetime.

Community Reaction to the Verdict
