He later pleaded guilty to seven counts of first-degree sexual assault, one count of second-degree sexual assault and a misdemeanor charge of violating mandatory reporting requirements.
He’ll have to register as a sex offender upon release from prison.
The victims are now in their 20s. Prosecutors say the young women approved of the plea agreement, which spared them from testifying in court.
