A Keithville man on trial for inappropriate sexual activity with a teen girl was convicted in Caddo District Court Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
The six-woman, six-man jury in District Judge Ramona Emanuel’s court found Brandon McDuffy, 43, guilty of one count of sexual battery.
His victim, a relative, moved in with him in 2018, when she was 17. He had the victim sleep in his bed and over the course of time he began to touch her breasts and buttocks without her consent. This activity continued until she moved out of the residence.
The victim testified, as did two Shreveport Police detectives.
McDuffy is set to return to court for sentencing February 26, 2025, where he faces up to 10 years of imprisonment, with or without hard labor, without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence. He also must register as a sex offender for 15 years.
McDuffy was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Fernando Grider and Senae D. Hall. He was defended by Royal Alexander and Dave Knadler.
The case was docket No. 381654.
