BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – Timothy Asmus, 57, of California, was arrested after an investigation into whether he acted inappropriately with a 12-year-old boy. A complaint came in from the mother of the alleged victim in this case. The mother and 12-year-old boy live in East Baton Rouge Parish. The affidavit states that the 12-year-old boy was in a Snapchat group chat with friends when Asmus reportedly joined the chat.
After entering the chat, Asmus is accused of being “fully naked with his penis exposed,” according to the affidavit. Asmus was reportedly seen masturbating, and the 12-year-old boy made a recording of it.
An investigator was able to view multiple videos that backed up what the mother said took place.
The investigator was able to get a search warrant, which helped narrow down where the suspect was located in this case. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office was able to help the investigator find where Asmus lived in California.
He was subsequently booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Tuesday, May 16 and charged with indecent behavior with juveniles. Bond has not yet been set.
