Officers outline child exploitation, threats, drugging claims against OS man
An Ocean Springs police investigator testified during a bond hearing in May that investigatiors have identified various victims, most of them teenage boys, during their ongoing investigation into sexual battery and child exploitation allegations against Cecil Raymond “Trey” Dubuisson.
Since the investigation began in September 2025, an Ocean Springs investigator said, police have determined that Dubuisson had access to minor boys through his diesel repair business, through volunteer work with the Catholic diocese of Biloxi, Knights of Columbus, and elsewhere.
Ocean Springs Police Det. Dimitrius Cruz said the investigation began in September 2025 when a 20-year-old man reported that Dubuisson sexually assaulted him after the two consumed alcohol and cocaine.
The young man said “he woke up in an unknown residence with his pants down,” and no memory of how he got there, Cruz said. He also had a bite mark to his breast.
DNA testing from the bite mark later matched Dubuisson, leading to his initial arrest on a sexual battery charge.
During the investigation, a witness reported that Dubuisson had been paying him for sexually explicit photos and videos since he was 16 and alleged ongoing sexual abuse beginning at that age.
Assistant District Attorney Bill Barrett argued against bond, citing concerns about public safety and witness intimidation.
“There has been evidence that he’s threatened witnesses, he assaulted witnesses, that he drugged individuals in public places,” Barrett said. “I think he is a danger to the public. ... He doesn’t carry a gun, he carries a cell phone, and he used it to violate the laws of the state of Mississippi in a pretty heinous way.”
So far, Dubuisson is charged with one count of sexual battery and eight counts of child exploitation in Ocean Springs, along with four counts of child exploitation in rural Jackson County, though the investigation is continuing with more charges expected in the case.
At least five minor boys have been identified as victims in the case.
Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Kathy King Jackson denied Dubuisson bond after hearing the evidence in the case.
Search warrants for Snapchat, Cash App and other victims
Ocean Springs police and Jackson County sheriff’s investigators found additional evidence after serving a search warrant on Dubuisson’s Snapchat, Cash App and other digital records.
The records revealed communications between Dubuisson and underage males. Investigators testified victims were solicited for nude images and videos in exchange for cash or drugs, and digital records confirmed their statements.
Officers also said Dubuisson attempted to interfere with the investigation by changing phones, deleting accounts, contacting witnesses and sharing search warrant information with victims after learning he was under investigation.
In addition, investigators said Cash App records showed that Dubuisson had about $7,000 in payments tied to a known drug dealer over two years.
Other testimony included specific allegations of drugging victims, including a 22-year-old airman who said he lost consciousness after he and his wife encountered Dubuisson, a stranger to them, in downtown Ocean Springs. The wife described Dubuisson as a “creepy man,” the officer said. The couple later identified him in a lineup.
A second woman said she blacked out after leaving her drink unattended at a downtown Ocean Springs bar during an encounter with Dubuisson..
