David Courvelle, a 56-year-old former contract officer at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Basile, has pleaded guilty in federal court to the sexual abuse of a woman in his custody.
Over several months, Courvelle exploited his position of authority to abuse a Nicaraguan migrant who was under his direct supervision.
Court records reveal he manipulated the victim with items such as food and photographs of her daughter.
The misconduct was eventually uncovered after coworkers reported suspicious behavior inside the janitors closet, and he now faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
