SHREVEPORT, La. (Nov. 12, 2026) — A former Anacoco resident has been sentenced to prison for child exploitation offenses.

According to the Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office, Micah Timothy Sandell, 23, of Anacoco, was sentenced by Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr. to 15 years at hard labor without benefit of probation, parole, or reduction of sentence.

Sandell previously pleaded guilty to Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material shortly before his trial was scheduled to begin.

Prosecutors said the investigation began after child sexual abuse material was detected on a cloud-based account following a cyber tip involving a Dropbox account.

Authorities reported that Sandell admitted the illegal images were contained within his account.

Upon completion of his prison sentence, Sandell will be required to register as a sex offender for 25 years.
