IBERIA PARISH, La. (KLFY) -- A drug investigation into the owner of an Iberia Parish mobile home park has the subject in deeper hot water than originally thought, authorities said.

Eric Bulliard, 44, who has been in custody at the Iberia Parish Jail since April 26, has been charged with multiple sex crimes alleged to have been committed in recent years, according to the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office.

In February, the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit initiated a narcotics investigation into the activities of Bulliard, owner/operator of T-John’s Mobile Home Park on Norris Road in rural Iberia Parish.

During the investigation, the United States Postal Inspection Service contacted the unit regarding an ongoing investigation into Bulliard. As these two investigations progressed, other possible criminal activity emerged, officials said. Given the serious nature of the allegations, the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit was brought in to assist with the investigation.

Bulliard faces Louisiana State Police felony charges of first degree rape and molestation of a juvenile or a person with a physical or mental disability. Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office has charged him with indecent behavior with a juvenile (a felony) and misdemeanor sexual battery.

Bulliard's bond has been set at $1,250,000.

The investigation is ongoing. The Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office urges anyone who believes they may have been a victim of similar alleged crimes by Eric Bulliard to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 337-369-3711.
