Brad, do me a favor and email me (jplauche@aol.com) or send me a Facebook friend request. Just because I “don’t mind” the attention does not mean I “enjoy” the attention. I would much rather you know me because you came to a crawfish boil and loved my crawfish or tasted my mustard greens and they were the best you have ever had.

Did we meet or hang out ever at LSU?

PS-For the record…I really do care that other victims don’t ruin their lives because they blame themselves or think they are less of a person. What piece of shit wouldn’t?

Jody, I’m not suggesting that you’re cashing in (monetarily). Rather, I’m suggesting that you’re cashing in on the notoriety – that you enjoy the attention. A close friend of mine (a guy) was sexually abused as a child. The perp was a guy. This is something that my friend keeps very close to him. He doesn’t see it as a badge of honor, but as a badge of shame. Most guys who have been victims of sexual assault keep this information to themselves because, even though they are not to blame, they find the abuse shameful and embarrassing. You, on the other hand – as long as there are news crews, reporters, and cameras – seem to have no problem shouting from the highest mountaintops what happened. Evidence of this is on your website: “He now plans to speak out around the country to reach a larger audience with his message of hope for sexual violence victims.” I find it very hard to believe that you’re seeking all this publicity for the sake of other victims. It seems very clear that you’re seeking this publicity for yourself. It’s like you’re trying to fill a hole inside of you. Jody, get some therapy. Let your wounds heal.

Brad, for the record I have NEVER “cashed in” on the whole Doucet thing? I would like to do a book one day, something I have wanted to do since 1993, to try to give victims a resource. Regarding the article in the Reveille, I honestly felt like that at the time and in 1998, I got a job at a non-profit in Norristown, PA making $20,800 a year (not much, even in 1998). And when doing education programs for Victim Services, it was company policy not to identify yourself as a victim. After working 7 years at the non-profit I realized they have many fine resources for “victims of sexual violence” like the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and National Organization for Victims of Crime, etc. so my own “foundation” is not necessary.

As for as any speaking engagements I have done since, maybe 8 in the last 5 years I have done for FREE or the compensation I did get was to make up for the time off of work. I didn’t have paid time off.

And any tv talk shows I have done over the years…was all done for FREE. No payment. They paid travel and maybe a $50 per diem for meals but no money. Trust me…I have not done any of this out of selfish needs or some attention seeking behavior. My motivation is to dispel the myth that once someone is “abused” they are damaged goods or scarred for life. So if I get invited to speak to a group of abuse counselors who might think there clients are “damaged”…I will accept it to help them better understand from their clients perspective.

Finally, they only reason I commented on this particular article was to clear up the mistake of saying my dad was my abuser. You would be shocked at all the mis-information that is out there. Like I have cashed in on this situation. If I have…I am still waiting on the check. It must be in the mail.

PS-I loved the Sarah Palin comment.

Jody, don’t you think it’s time that you stop cashing in on the whole Jeffrey Doucet thing? What happened to you was a terrible thing; it’s something that no one should ever endure; however, I think you came to realize a very long time ago that the Jeffery Doucet thing is your claim to fame. I was at LSU in the early 1990s and I remember the puff piece the Reveille did on you. Based on things you said in the interview (“I plan to start a foundation..the Jody Plauche Foundation..”), I remember thinking, “Gosh, what a noble victim.” It was very clear that you fully intended to cash in on this tragedy. Take my advice. It’s free – move on. If you want to help victims of abuse – whether sexual, physical or other – that’s great. You’re not helping people by putting your name in neon lights and going on national tours. Leave that to Sarah Palin. The only reason people in Baton Rouge remember what happened to you is that you keep reminding us. What happened to you was a sin and and it was a terrible crime, but it’s really time for you to let this go.

Mr. Camp, I agree 100 percent with what you wrote other than mixing up the Doucet/Plauche’ name.

And Matthew…the “unnamed” high ranking police official (Mike Barnett?) had nothing to do with how my father found out when Mr. Doucet was returning.

The guy that told my dad when he was coming home was fired from his job.

Plauche was a friend of an unnamed high ranking police official – and knew when Doucet would be in the airport.

Great story John! I agree! I knew the family of another boy in that same martial arts class and they were very concerned during the kidnapping and the subsequent disclosure of the perversion of Jeff Doucet. But, they did not outwardly approve of his killing (which smelled of inside information and collusion) or the light sentence he got.

However, the father of the victim was Leon Gary Plauche, not Doucet. Doucet was the martial arts instructor – Plauche was the father.
