Harry Morel, a former district attorney from south Louisiana who frequently used his position to offer vulnerable women clemency in return for sexual favors, pleaded guilty to obstructing a federal investigation of sexual abuse allegations. The 73-year-old faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison.

Investigators have linked the former St. Charles Parish District Attorney to 20 women during his 33-year tenure. Morel had offered to help the women with their cases or cases of relatives.

Danielle Keim agreed to wear a wire for the FBI and record her conversations with Morel. During a surveillance operation, the FBI captured on tape Morel bringing two bottles of wine to her apartment where he engaged in “inappropriate behavior.”
