This arrest was the result of several weeks of active investigation, where it was learned that between the months of February to May of 2023, Poupard committed acts against a 4-year-old child within his care that are deemed to be sexual battery per Florida Law.
Sheriff Clovis Watson Jr. wants to remind our community that we will always seek to protect our youth from vile criminal acts, such as the one committed by Poupard. Our children should not have to fear being victimized by anyone in this community, let alone an adult they have been taught to trust.
