Caddo teacher accused of dozens of sex crimes

SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) — A Caddo Parish teacher faces multiple sex crime charges.

Seth Cullen Dubois, 38, of Shreveport, is being held in Caddo Correctional Center, the lockup where he was booked at 11:16 a.m. Tuesday, June 1.

He is charged with two counts of computer-aided solicitation for sexual purposes and 60 counts of indecent behavior with juveniles, booking records show.

No bond amount has been set.

Dubois was arrested Tuesday morning in the 800 block of Acklen Street in Shreveport by troopers with Louisiana State Police’s Special Victims Unit.

LSP officials say the investigation began in March after agents got a complaint saying Dubois was speaking in a sexual way and sending nude photos to a person he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.

During the investigation, LSP agents say Dubois initiated a number of separate online conversations with undercover SVU troopers and used sexually explicit language. During these conversations, he continued to believe he was talking to a teenage girl, police say.

The investigation remains active.

Captain Shreve High’s website identifies Dubois as a teacher in the science department at the Shreveport school.
