Metairie man to serve 30 years for 2019, 2021 sex abuse crimes
JEFFERSON PARISH, La. (WGNO) — The Metairie man found guilty in May of drugging and sexually abusing teenagers, has been sentenced. On Thursday, June 12, the Jefferson Parish District Attorney's Office announced 46-year-old Thomas Welty will serve 30 years in prison convicted of: Second-degree rape and trafficking children for sexual purposes involving one victim Indecent behavior with a juvenile Contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile Sexual battery of the other victim On May 20, Welty was found guilty of the crimes that happened between 2019 and 2021 with 15-year-old victims. Former OPSO employee arrested, accused of conspiring to bring drugs into Orleans Parish jail Court documents noted the abuse began during the 2019 Carnival season when Welty provided one victim with alcohol until she ultimately passed out. That's when he took her to his home and injected her with a 'highly addictive methamphetamine.' The encounter caused the victim to develop an addiction to the drug, documents noted. After raping her, Welty allowed two drug-dealing associates to do the same in exchange for narcotics (they have never been identified). During that same month, Welty had given a 'date rape' drug, GHB, to a second victim. She also passed out but woke up in the shower with Welty, according to court documents. It was also noted that the second victim rejected his sexual advances and left his house. During the trial, one victim's impact statement read: 17-year-old shot, killed in St. John the Baptist Parish 'I choose to forgive what you've done, but not for you,' the victim wrote. 'I'm forgiving you for myself, because at the end of the day I need to heal – not you. 'I was so grateful to learn that every seven years, every cell in your entire body is being replaced. And with that being said, how great is it to know that I will finally have a body you will have never touched.' In addition to the sentence, the judge ordered a stay-away order prohibiting any contact with the victims for the next 100 hundred years and for Welty to register as a sexual offender for the rest of his hanged from highway overpass in Juarez House passes DOGE cuts Comer launches probe into LA protests Air raid sirens sound across Israel following an Iranian missile attack on the country Metairie man to serve 30 years for 2019, 2021 sex abuse crimes Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Lori Vallow Daybell Just Got Convicted Again — This Time for Plotting to Kill Her Niece's Ex-Husband
Lori Vallow Daybell has been convicted of conspiring to kill her niece's ex-husband in October 2019 Daybell faces a possibility of two life sentences stemming from the conviction Daybell is already serving three life sentences without the possibility of parole in connection with the deaths of her two young children and her fifth husband's ex-wifeLori Vallow Daybell, the 'Doomsday' mother who was convicted of killing her two young children, an ex-husband, and the ex-wife of her most recent fifth husband, has been convicted for conspiring to kill another man in 51, was found guilty on Thursday of conspiring to kill Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-husband of her niece, in October 2019, according to The Associated Press, as well as local outlets ABC 15 and NBC 12. Daybell is already serving three life sentences for murdering and conspiring to murder her son 7-year-old Joshua "J.J." Vallow and her daughter 16-year-old Tylee Ryan and conspiring to murder Tammy Daybell, the ex-wife of her fifth husband Chad Daybell. Those three murders also took place in 2019, PEOPLE previously reported. On Thursday, Daybell was convicted of conspiring with her late brother Alex Cox to kill Boudreaux outside of his home in Gilbert, Ariz., the AP reported. Cox has since died, while Daybell will be sentenced on July 25 and faces another two possible life sentences as a result of this week's convictions. According to NBC 12, investigators say Cox shot at Bordeaux with a rifle while he was outside his home. The gunshot missed Bordeaux and shattered a window on the driver's side of his car while he was inside. Bordeaux said he recognized the jeep — where the shot came from — as the car that Daybell's daughter Tylee used to drive before her own disappearance. Daybell represented herself during the trial, once being removed from court after a testy exchange with the judge. "I did not enjoy sitting and giving someone who tried to kill me the chance to question me," Boudreaux told reporters after Daybell's conviction, according to NBC 12. "But I owed it to Charles, to Tylee, to JJ and to Tammy, to speak because I could." Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

"We stand united," Boudreaux said, according to the outlet. "We're still family, we always will be. Regardless of the things that happened." NBC 12 reports that after her July sentencing, Daybell will be extradited back to Idaho where she'll continue to serve the life sentences related to her children and husband's ex-wife's murders.
