FORMER HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTOR ARRESTED FOR OBSCENITY, “REVENGE PORN”

Bossier Sheriff Julian Whittington says a Bossier City man and former high school band director in Bossier Parish has been arrested for showing nude photos of a former dating partner.

Patrick W. Neff, 43, of the 2900 block of Le Oaks Drive in Bossier City, was arrested early Wednesday afternoon on two separate felony charges of Obscenity and Unauthorized Disclosure of a Private Image, dubbed Revenge Porn.

Bossier Sheriff’s Office detectives began their investigation in early August when they became aware of the allegations of the possible inappropriate behavior by Neff, former band director at Airline High School.  After a lengthy and thorough investigation involving numerous interviews and the use of cell phone forensics, investigators determined that back in October 2017 when Neff was the band director, he showed a student at Airline High School on his cell phone at the school several nude photos of his former dating partner.  He shared the private nude images without the former dating partner’s permission.

Detectives obtained arrest warrants late Monday on the two charges, and Neff turned himself in to the Bossier Sheriff’s Office just after noon today.  He was booked into the Bossier Maximum Security Facility with an $80,000 bond.

Bossier Sheriff’s Office detectives are continuing their investigation.
