His wife, Kristi Renne Weismort, 36, also of Crowley, was booked with five counts principal to carnal knowledge of a juvenile, five counts principal to aggravated crimes against nature, and two counts domestic abuse battery.
Guidry 's bond has been set at $2,565,000. Weismort's bond has been set at $77,500. Both remain in custody.
