A man accused of kidnapping a 9-year-old girl from Moreau Lake State Park in upstate New York has pleaded guilty to two felony counts, which could result in a sentence of 47 years to life in prison. The defendant, 46-year-old, pleaded guilty to first-degree kidnapping and predatory sexual assault of a child under a plea deal.
The incident occurred on September 30, when the girl was abducted from the state park, located approximately 35 miles north of Albany. Following a search involving over 100 individuals, the girl was found alive in a cabinet two days later after state police troopers and an FBI SWAT team stormed a camper where the defendant was staying.
