Bus Driver Accused of Child Trafficking | New Orleans News

A Louisiana bus driver and school coach, Esaw Owens III, 37, has been arrested in Alexandria on charges of attempted human trafficking of children for sexual purposes and purchasing commercial sex. The arrest, made by Louisiana State Police, Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the FBI, underscores the gravity of the case — especially given his position of trust with the Rapides Parish School Board. He’s currently jailed at the Rapides Parish Correctional Facility with a $100,000 bond. The investigation was led by the Special Victims Unit, and while authorities are withholding further details, this developing story will be closely monitored for updates.
