Bonnabel High student accused of molesting boys and shooting child porn in Kenner

KENNER, La. (WVUE) – A 17-year-old Bonnabel High School student is charged with sex crimes involving young boys after he was arrested Monday evening (Oct. 28) at a Kenner trailer park.

Kenner Police say officers responded to a call just after 7 p.m. accusing Luis Renan Bonilla-Alfaro of abusing children at the Airline Oaks Trailer Park.

After officers arrested the teen, police say he admitted to abusing a 4-year-old and a 7-year-old boy.

Kenner police obtained a warrant to search the teen’s phone. Authorities said it contained sexually explicit photos and videos of Bonilla-Alfaro and the two children, as well as a third, unidentified boy.

“I consider this individual to be a serial sex offender based on the actions of these three children, which he documented for whatever reason,” Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley said.

Bonilla-Alfaro was indicted on charges of first-degree rape, two counts of sexual assault, two counts of pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13, and two counts of indecent conduct with juveniles.

Police confirmed Bonilla-Alfaro is a student at Bonnabel High and a resident of the trailer park where he was arrested. Investigators said they believe he befriended families with young children at the trailer park to victimize them.

“We had never heard of any rumors that there was anything going on involving children,” a neighbor at the trailer park told Fox 8.

Conley says Bonilla-Alfaro is currently in custody after authorities determined he was in the United States illegally from Honduras. ICE has not yet confirmed with Fox 8 when the teen arrived in the country or how he did so.

This is the second case of juvenile sexual abuse this year linked to the Airline Oaks Trailer Park. Last month, police arrested 23-year-old Diego Rodriguez-Salvador, accused of kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl at the trailer park.

Rodriguez-Salvador is also undocumented and entered the US illegally.

“Thank God they arrested (Bonilla-Alfaro), that they got him, and I hope they do what they need to do with him,” a neighbor told Fox 8.

Kenner police said they want other potential victims of Bonilla-Alfaro to come forward, either by calling the department or leaving an anonymous tip with Crimestoppers.

The Kenner Police Department has a staff of bilingual officers and 911 operators to assist Spanish-speaking neighbors who wish to come forward.
