A 23-year-old Staatsburg resident accused of participating in illicit sex acts with an underage girl pleaded guilty to one felony count of engaging in a criminal sex act.

Kevin Millsaps allegedly contacted a 12-year-old Amenia girl via the Web site, myspace.com, to lure the victim and another underage girl to the residence of a friend living in Rhinebeck, where he allegedly had oral sex with one of them.

Millsaps admitted to the crime during a proceeding in the Dutchess County courtroom of Judge James Dolan.

Millsaps was originally arrested and charged with 11 counts pertaining to the crime, but agreed to plead guilty to the one felony count in exchange for a promise that he would serve no more than eight years in jail.

The Dutchess County Sheriff's Department detained Millsaps approximately 24 hours after the parents of the victims filed missing persons reports.

Earlier this year, Joshua Bauer, 23, a friend of Millsaps, pleaded guilty to a reduced count of criminal facilitation for allegedly allowing the sexual assault to take place in his home.

The crime carries a maximum sentence of five months in jail and five years probation.

Bauer admitted that he allowed the use of his residence for the crime, and further admitted he dared one of the girls to perform sexual acts on Millsaps.

Millsaps is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 10.
