President Donald Trump has received the backing of the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association in what the organization said was its first ever presidential endorsement.

LSA president Jason Ard, sheriff of Livingston Parish, released a statement Thursday on behalf of the organization.

“President Trump has repeatedly sided with law and order,” the statement said, according to KLFY-TV. “The men and women who choose to serve and protect across our great country know we have a proven leader in Donald J. Trump. We endorse a leader who supports our mission of working with citizens to maintain safer communities.”

Two years ago, a detective in North Carolina gained access to a chat group on the messenger app Kik where strangers were exchanging child pornography, according to court filings. The discovery and subsequent investigation reportedly saved eight children from sexually abusive situations.

Now the first person police brought down in the investigation has been sentenced to prison.

Dustin Davis Haynes, 34, will spend more than five years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of transporting child pornography, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of North Carolina said in a news release Wednesday.

Haynes — who lived in Lexington, North Carolina, before his arrest in January — told investigators “that he has been attracted to children since he was approximately 13 years-old,” prosecutors said in court filings.

His case was just the tip of the iceberg for law enforcement.

The investigation dates back to September 2018, when prosecutors said Detective Jason Reid with the Boone Police Department in Western North Carolina started looking into child exploitation on Kik Messenger.

Otherwise known as Kik, the free app built by a Canadian software company has come under fire for giving potential child predators relative anonymity on the Internet, The New York Times reported in 2016.

According to court filings, Reid posed as a 14-year-old girl to gain access to a public chatroom on the app.
