Former Shreveport Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Rick Seaton wants his rape conviction overturned. Seaton's new attorney Lee Harville is planning to filed a post-conviction relief appeal in Caddo District Court today. Harville enrolled as counsel for Seaton this week.

Seaton is serving an 18 year sentence for rape an abuse of power.

This latest appeal is expected to claim Seaton had ineffective counsel during his trial. He's also accusing the Caddo District Attorney's office of withholding evidence. We'll have more info as soon as the appeal is filed.

Seaton raped a teenage girl in the mayor's office at Government Plaza after the 2010 Independence Bowl game.

Last year, the Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal in Shreveport upheld Seaton’s rape conviction.
