A Shreveport man who groped two juveniles and sought sex from them pleaded guilty to two separate sex crimes Thursday, January 23, 2025, in Caddo District Court.
Dustin Metcalf, 26, pleaded guilty to sexual battery of a victim under age 13 and to indecent behavior with a juvenile under 13, before District Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr. Metcalf had been scheduled to go to jury trial Monday.
In 2021, Metcalf committed indecent behavior with a juvenile when he grabbed the 12-year-old victim’s breast and buttocks and propositioned her for sex. For that, he received a 10-year hard-labor sentence.
Between 2021 and 2024 the defendant touched the genitals of a second victim who was under the age of 12 and also propositioned her for sex.  He received a 30-year hard labor sentence for this crime. The sentences are to run consecutively so Metcalf will be incarcerated for 40 years. The family of both victims approved the pleas and sentences.
The case was docket Nos. 400578 and 400579.
