Missouri man charged with sexual battery, accused of aggravated incest with young victim
A 44-year-old Missouri man is accused of sexually abusing a juvenile victim while he was living in Lafourche.
In May, juvenile detectives said they started an investigation after receiving a complaint about a family member who had been sexually abused bv William Patrick Gil-lam, 44, of Duenweg, Missouri, during previous years when he was a native of Lafourche.
Through investigation, authorities learned that the alleged abuse took place over the course of several years.
Authorities said the original incident occurred about six years ago in Raceland, which is where Gilliam resided at the time.
During investigation, detectives said they learned that Gilliam had allegedly engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with the victim – both in Lafourche and also other jurisdictions.
Upon hearing that, LPSO obtained warrants for Gilliam’s arrest on charges of aggravated incest and sexual battery (forcible fondling).
In late May, LPSO said its detectives learned that Gilliam was in custody in Jasper County in Missouri on other charges.
Detectives believe the juvenile is the sole victim of Gilliam’s alleged abuse.
Because of the nature of the crimes, LPSO said it will not release any more information.

After investigation, agents said they located two bags of suspected cocaine, a bag of suspected crystal meth, three and three-fourths doses of Alprazolam, three and three-fourths doses of OxyContin, a digital scale and numerous syringes in the vehicle.
