TOWANDA, Pa. -- (WNEP) -- Jonathan Hakes was set to begin trial Monday but instead pleaded guilty to eight counts of raping minors.
Hakes was arrested in April and charged with 2,100 counts of sex crimes before the plea agreement -- various felony and misdemeanor sex offenses for allegedly assaulting two young female juveniles.
The district attorney says he expects Hakes to be sentenced in November to a term that will likely keep him locked up for life.
