Caddo Parish Sheriff’s detectives arrested a Shreveport man for distributing child and animal pornography, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

In November of 2022, Cyber Crimes Detective Thomas Lites launched an investigation after receiving a complaint that Christopher Canizares, 43, distributed child pornography.

The investigation led Caddo detectives to Canizares’ home in the 2600 block of Sevier Street, where he was contacted on February 9. Further investigation showed Canizares possessed and distributed many images and videos of child pornography and pornographic material showing sexual intercourse between humans and horses.

Canizares was arrested and booked into the Caddo Correctional Center for 4 counts of pornography involving juveniles and 12 counts of sexual abuse of an animal.

The investigation is ongoing and more charges may be added as information becomes available.
