Belle Chasse, LA – June 24, 2026
Plaquemines Parish District Attorney Charles Ballay announced that a St. Amant man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple felony sex offenses connected to a 2024 incident.
On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, Michael Louis Perriloux, 30, pleaded guilty to sexual battery and second-degree rape stemming from an incident that occurred on March 10, 2024.
According to the District Attorney’s Office, Perriloux was initially arrested on July 21, 2025, and charged with indecent behavior with a juvenile. As the investigation progressed, additional evidence was uncovered by Detective Victoria Barrois of the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff’s Office, prompting prosecutors to seek more serious charges.
The case was subsequently presented to a Plaquemines Parish Grand Jury on January 14, 2026, which resulted in upgraded charges against Perriloux, ultimately leading to his guilty plea this week.
Judge Michael Clement presided over the case and sentenced Perriloux to 25 years in the Louisiana Department of Corrections. The sentence is to be served without the benefit of probation or parole, ensuring Perriloux will remain incarcerated for the full term.
In addition to his prison sentence, Perriloux will be required to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life, in accordance with Louisiana law.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Jason Napoli, who represented the state throughout the proceedings.
District Attorney Ballay credited law enforcement and prosecutors for their work in advancing the case and securing a conviction.
