Student arrested for indecent behavior
SWIPE A SWEATER Tacky sweater app connects users to perfect match BY KATIE GAGLIANO | @katie_gagliano When looking for the one, swipe right and swipe left no longer applies to just dating. Now, a new app is taking the popular dating app design and using it to pair users with the perfect tacky Christmas sweaters.

LSUPD spokesperson Lt. Kevin Scott said an 18-year-old University student was arrested for indecent behavior with a juvenile and possession of pornography involving a juvenile after he was caught sending a nude video of himself to a 15-year-old. Scott said on Nov. 17, Tyler Braud was arrested because of information received by LSUPD from LSU Residential Life. A residential assistant was reportedly informed that Braud sent a nude video of himself to the juvenile, according to Scott. According to WBRZ, the video was reportedly recorded in a University dorm room via Snapchat. The 15-year-old victim confirmed the incident, Scott said, and Braud later admitted to sending the video. According to Scott, nude images of the juvenile were also found on Braud’s phone. Braud was arrested and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison for the charges mentioned above.
