Charges are mounting against a St. Martin man accused of sexual battery and child exploitation in Ocean Springs and rural Jackson County, as investigators seek information about any other potential victims in the case.
Cecil Raymond “Trey” Dubuisson III, 32, has been held without bond since his Dec. 11 arrest on one count of sexual battery and three counts of child exploitation. Authorities have since charged him with two additional counts of child exploitation as the investigation continued.
In the sexual battery case, Dubuisson is accused of sexually assaulting a young man between Sept. 4 and Sept. 5, 2025.
On Monday, County Court Judge Mark Watts again denied Dubuisson bond, pending a preliminary hearing set for early next year.
According to the charging documents, Dubuisson exploited at least four other victims in separate child exploitation cases, all involving minor boys. According to court records, the allegations include:
- Between April 2021 and February 2023, soliciting a minor to produce sexually explicit content.
- Between October 2022 and February 2023, soliciting a minor boy to produce sexually explicit content.
- In October 2024, soliciting a minor boy to produce sexually explicit content.
- Between May 2025 and June 2025, soliciting a minor boy to produce sexually explicit content.
- Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 12, soliciting a minor boy to meet for sexual purposes.
At the time of his arrest, Dubuisson was out of jail on bond in an unrelated drug case. In that case, agents with the South Mississippi Metro Enforcement Team arrested him Oct. 15 after finding less than two grams of cocaine in his wallet.
Jackson County Assistant District Attorney George Huffman said some of the new charges surfaced after authorities asked for, and received, additional tips about alleged crimes involving Dubuisson.
In court Monday, Dubuisson said his family planned to hire a lawyer to represent him.
