According to Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry, 55-year-old Robert D. Fenton pleaded guilty to aggravate indecent assault and statutory sexual assault.

The crimes occurred from 1996 to 1998 in Bradford County.

Fenton fled to Australia before charges were filed, but he was eventually detained while entering the Philippines in April of last year.

Fenton will be sentenced for the crimes at a later date.
