A Louisiana man with a prior child sexual abuse conviction has been found guilty of molesting his girlfriend’s young daughter.

Lawrence Burt, 48, was convicted of indecent behavior with a juvenile on Friday, March 28. He now faces between two to 25 years in prison, according to a press release from the Louisiana District Attorney’s Office.

Per trial testimony, deputies from the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a Pearl River residence in March 2022 “in reference to a sexual abuse complaint.”

Upon arriving at the residence, deputies spoke to a woman who said her 8-year-old daughter had been touched inappropriately by her boyfriend, the release said.
