EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A Eugene-based federal parole officer who pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing five women under his supervision is expected to change his plea Thursday at a hearing in Portland.

The Register Guard reports a plea agreement was reached before the trial for 51-year-old Mark John Walker, which was scheduled to start this week in federal court.

Walker also is being sued by 10 people who say he used his position to sexually harass, manipulate or extort sex from women.
