BATON ROUGE — A man was arrested for indecent behavior with juveniles after allegedly communicating with what he believed was a 15-year-old girl. 

According to arrest records, on May 13, investigators with the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit, acting undercover as a 15-year-old girl, were contacted by 33-year-old Isiah Stewart on a meeting/dating social media app.

As the conversation moved from the app to text communication, Stewart was allegedly advised that he was communicating with a 15-year-old girl, which he initially responded to with, "no thx im not a pedo," according to arrest records. 

Stewart allegedly went on to tell investigators posing as the juvenile that he thought the teen could be a cop before going on to explain the television show To Catch a Predator.

Being aware of her age, Stewart allegedly offered to meet the teen in Baton Rouge. He also allegedly sent sexually explicit photos of himself to the teen.

On Thursday, Stewart was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish jail for computer-aided solicitation of a minor and indecent behavior with juveniles.
