LAS VEGAS - A Las Vegas man accused of paying a couple $1,500 a month for six years so he could have sex with their three daughters has pleaded guilty as part of a deal with prosecutors.
Donald Dustman, 64, will be 84 before he will be eligible for parole, Chief Deputy District Attorney Doug Herndon said.
Dustman pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault of a minor under the age of 14 and one count of using a minor in the production of pornography.
Each sexual assault count represents the victims, who are now teen-agers, Herndon said.
Dustman will be sentenced Aug. 31.
He was charged in April with 78 counts after one of the girls told a teacher she was being sexually abused. Police found 1,000 pornographic pictures and 200 pornographic videotapes in a storage unit that had been rented by Dustman.
During their investigation, police learned that Dustman had been paying the children's parents so he could engage in sexual activities with them, take pornographic photos of them and videotape them.
The parents, who are not being named to protect the identities of the children, cut short their preliminary hearing last week to announce they also plan to plead guilty.
The 47-year-old father, who also was accused of sexually abusing two of the girls, is expected to plead guilty Tuesday to two counts of sexual assault of a minor under 16 and one count of felony child abuse or neglect.
The 37-year-old mother plans to plead guilty to a single count of felony child abuse or neglect. Both could get up to 20 years in prison.
