A 20-year-old New Orleans man is facing charges tied to child sexual abuse material after being taken into custody on an outstanding arrest warrant. Daryl Scott Evans Jr., who lives on Wall Boulevard in New Orleans, was arrested Thursday and transported to the Orleans Parish Justice Center, where he was booked.
The Louisiana Attorney General’s Office says Evans was arrested on nine counts of child sexual abuse material, according to the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office. Separately, WDSU reports that Evans was charged with seven counts of sexual abuse material involving children under age 13, along with two additional counts of child sexual abuse material. The evidence reviewed does not clarify whether the nine-count figure cited by the Attorney General’s Office represents a total incorporating those seven and two counts, or a separate accounting altogether.
How Investigators Say They Identified Evans
According to the same WDSU report, Evans was identified as the user of a Dropbox account that investigators say contained child sexual abuse material or evidence of indecent behavior with juveniles. That identification reportedly led to the arrest warrant that was issued for Evans, which authorities used to take him into custody.
Bond information for Evans has not been made public, per the station’s reporting. The case remains under investigation in New Orleans, and no further details about the scope of that investigation have been released.
What Remains Unconfirmed
Several details in the case have not been independently verified beyond the seed reporting, including the full particulars of the arrest warrant, the specifics of the booking process, and the nature of the Dropbox findings referenced by investigators. The discrepancy between the Attorney General’s nine-count figure and WDSU’s combined seven- and two-count breakdown has not been resolved in the available records, and Hoodline is not combining or reconciling those figures absent the underlying charging documents.
