The plea was entered in Grant County Superior Court by 41-year-old Christopher Malloy, who is facing ten separate counts, including child rape, commercial sexual abuse of a minor, and dealing in depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

Prosecutors say Malloy's crimes were committed over several months in early 2023 and his plea is part of an agreement to garner a reduced jail sentence.

Malloy will still face several years in prison when he is sentenced on April 15.
