The Morgan City Police Department has booked a local man with more sex abuse charges in an ongoing investigation.
Chief Chad M. Adams announced that Michael Anthony Noel, 53, has been booked with more charges in connection with an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Morgan City Police Department Criminal Investigations Division.
He's now been booked with four more counts of rape, eight more counts of video voyeurism and another count of sexual battery, Adams says.
According to investigators, an additional victim was identified during the investigation, linking Noel to four separate incidents of rape. Further evidence also resulted in charges of video voyeurism and sexual battery.
In September, Michael Anthony Noel, 53, was booked on multiple narcotics charges. He was booked on a warrant that was issued folloing a long-term narcotics investigation involving Fentanyl, Cocaine and Methamphetamine. At the time, Noel was on federal parole, also for narcotics charges.
Then in October, Noel was booked on another warrant, as the investigation broadened into alleged sexual abuse crimes; he was booked with six counts of rape, four counts sexual battery, 21 counts video voyeurism and two counts misdemeanor sexual battery.
Earlier this week, Morgan City Police reported that they booked him with more sex crimes: another count of sexual battery and two more video voyeurism counts, all related to a different victim.
Chief Chad M. Adams stated that the case remains active and ongoing. Additional charges may be filed as investigators identify more victims.
