The plea agreement reached between Salsman and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office also requires Salsman to resign from his elected position, effective immediately.
Salsman initially faced multiple counts of sexual assault, indecent assault, intimidation of a witness or victim, obstruction of justice, and prostitution resulting from complaints filed by five female clients of his former law practice.
He pleaded guilty Friday to charges of promoting prostitution, a felony, intimidation of victims, and obstruction of justice, both misdemeanors.
"Chad Salsman used his position as a private attorney, and then as the district attorney, to intimidate and silence his victims and interfere with our investigation," state Attorney General Todd Shapiro said following the plea. "Today is a powerful reminder that no one is above the law."
