Two brothers from Kenner are behind bars this week, accused of repeatedly sexually abusing a girl younger than 16 over the past year, according to police. Authorities identified the men as Kevin Brock and Bryant Brock. Investigators say the alleged abuse happened in Kenner and led to a long list of felony counts. Kevin Brock was booked on multiple charges, including second‑degree rape and sexual battery, while Bryant Brock faces counts that include indecent behavior with a juvenile and cruelty to a juvenile. Both are being held without bond at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna as the case moves forward.
Charges and booking
Arrest reports reviewed by local media list the charges against Kevin Brock as two counts of second‑degree rape, three counts of sexual battery and two counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile. The reports show Bryant Brock is booked on indecent behavior with a juvenile and cruelty to a juvenile. Police say the allegations surfaced in April, when the girl disclosed the abuse to medical staff while being treated at a local hospital. The brothers were then processed into Jefferson Parish custody, where they remain without bond, according to reporting by NOLA.
A pattern of recent local cases
The arrests land in the middle of a string of high‑profile child‑sex prosecutions in Kenner and across Jefferson Parish this year, a trend that law enforcement says has brought more victims forward. In March, a Jefferson Parish jury convicted Lance Green on multiple child‑sex charges, as reported by WDSU. In a separate matter, a grand‑jury indictment connected to a Kenner church was outlined in coverage of a Kenner church insider indicted in alleged rapes of young girls.
Legal exposure and next steps
The counts listed in the arrest reports are all felonies under Louisiana law and carry potentially lengthy prison terms if prosecutors secure convictions. Second‑degree rape can bring a sentence of roughly five to 40 years in prison, and offenses such as sexual battery and indecent behavior with a juvenile have their own serious penalties. The case is expected to move through Jefferson Parish courts as prosecutors review evidence, file formal charges and set arraignment dates. As in every criminal case, the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in court.
