Murrill said the case was presented to the grand jury Monday morning, and jurors deliberated about three minutes before returning a true bill on all 12 counts.
Locicero, a former deputy with the East Baton Rouge and Livingston Parish sheriff's offices, was arrested in October 2024 after a Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office investigation into allegations of sexual abuse involving minors.
The case involves two female victims, and the charges were separated by victim. Most of the charges relate to the younger victim.
“Crimes against children are among the most serious offenses my office prosecutes. Anyone accused of preying on a child in Louisiana will be pursued aggressively by my office and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. No one is above the law, especially those sworn to uphold it,” said Attorney General Liz Murrill.
