District Attorney Jay Lemoine announced that Malcolm Dennis Cameron has been sentenced to 22½ years at hard labor following his convictions on multiple sex offenses involving juveniles.

A jury found Cameron guilty on Oct. 23, 2025, of Sexual Battery, two counts of Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile, and Attempted Third Degree Rape. The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Alex Hooper and Renee Nugent.

Cameron was taken into custody immediately after the verdict. Sentencing was held on Jan. 29, 2026.

According to the court, Cameron was sentenced to seven and one-half years at hard labor for Sexual Battery. He received five years at hard labor for each count of Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile, with those sentences running concurrently with each other but consecutively to the Sexual Battery sentence. He was also sentenced to 10 years at hard labor for Attempted Third Degree Rape, to be served consecutively to all other sentences.

The combined sentences total 22½ years at hard labor.

In addition to the prison term, Cameron was ordered to register as a sex offender for life following his release. District Attorney Lemoine stated that the sentence reflects the seriousness of the crimes and the office’s commitment to accountability and protecting vulnerable members of the community.
