Accused rapist Ricky Foster, subject of documentary, arrested after posting bond days earlier
LIVINGSTON — The subject of a documentary who previously bonded out of the Livingston Parish Detention Center after being arrested for rape was arrested again on Monday night.
According to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office, 46-year-old Ricky Foster was arrested on two counts of violations of protective orders. Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said that Foster will be held without bond at this time.
Foster was featured in a documentary called "The Devil Wears Dunks," which has garnered millions of views online. The documentary crew uncovered unreported allegations of sexual abuse, which launched an LPSO investigation.
The creator of the documentary Jeremy Greene said neighbors noticed a suspicious car around the victim's home after Foster's release and reached out to him. Greene said he called one of the detectives working on the case.
"They called me and said, 'Hey J, this guy's coming in and out of the neighborhood,'" Greene said. "[Foster] was caught by the police driving by [the victim's home]."
Arrest records say Foster was not allowed within 100 yards of the victim's residence per the protective order. It also said the investigating officer stood at the front driveway of the residence and witnessed Foster ride by in the passenger seat of a car with a family member driving.
Foster, who was originally arrested on April 1 after being accused of 10 counts of third-degree rape, 10 counts of extortion and four counts of sexual battery, posted an $800,000 bond on Friday prior to the arrest. Livingston Sheriff Jason Ard told WBRZ in April, deputies discovered that Foster allegedly took over $70,000 worth of credit card loans in a woman's name and sexually extorted her by threatening not to pay her loans back.

"He was also using that debt that she had to turn around and extort her for sexual favors. That's what this guy's been doing," Ard told WBRZ at the time.
As the investigation continued, deputies also charged Foster with human trafficking and crimes against nature in late April.
WBRZ reached out to Foster's legal counsel who said the case is still in its early stages, and added Foster is presumed innocent, asking the public to refrain from judgement.
Anyone with information on the investigation is urged to contact the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office at 225-686-2241.
Greene says more episodes are on the way for The Devil Wears Dunks, with a series planned for his Simplistic Podcast as well.
