A former St. Landry Parish sheriff s deputy was convicted in New Mexico of incest after he had sex with a teenage relative.
Leon Boudreaux was found guilty after a jury trial last month, according to court filings. He faces up to three years in prison, his attorney, Lisa Torraco, said in an email.
Boudreaux was facing three counts one count of incest and two counts of first-degree criminal sexual penetration, when a victim is forced or coerced and suffers bodily harm or mental anguish.
But the two rape charges were dropped by a judge in November after Torraco argued there was no factual basis to support them and the judge said prosecutors didn t provide supporting evidence.
