Residents of Breaux Bridge react to charges of child pornography against Fr. David Broussard.

According to Bishop J. Douglas Deshotel, there were at least 500 images of child porn found on Broussard’s personal computer, and there has never been a complaint filed against him.

The bishop said Fr. Broussard took his computer in for repairs, and the technician fixing the computer reported the child pornography to the authorities. It’s something that has left many residents and parishioners shocked.

Joey Broussard said, “He seemed like a good priest and everything. It’s shocking that something like this would happen. You never know what happens behind closed doors.”
