A Golden Meadows man is behind bars after allegedly sexually abusing the same girl over a 20-year span.
Joshua Dismukes, 49, was booked into the Lafourche Parish Correctional Facility after the victim came forward. She claimed he began sexually abusing her continuously when she was a child, over 20 years ago.
The most recent incident allegedly happened in July. Parish deputies arrested Dismukes on July 11, 2025, on one count of sexual battery. His bond has been set at $100,000.
Investigators are digging into the claims of sexual abuse of the victim as a minor. Additional charges could be filed as a result of that investigation.
