The role of a district attorney is to prosecute criminals, not become one. However, sometimes roles reverse, and no one is above the law. Such is the case of district attorney Myrl Serra. Serra has been accused of a slew of sexual allegations as well indecent exposure, with the majority of encounters taking place in his office. Serra is also accused of threatening employees with termination or damage to their reputation if they did not give into his sexual advances, according to The Denver Post. The 48-year-old attorney is charged with felony unlawful sexual contact, felony criminal extortion, and five misdemeanor counts relating to indecent exposure and unlawful sexual contact.
And this behavior is more that just a criminal matter. His behavior is also a major violation of his professional responsibility as an attorney. The range of charges can result in more than just fines and prison time but also affect his position with the district attorney’s office and could have him lose his license to practice law. Serra’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for early next year.
