| Plea deal: John Villers-Farrow entered an Alford plea after facing child sex abuse charges, his sister is actress Mia Farrow |
Businessman John Villers-Farrow made the plea at his hearing in Maryland's Annapolis court as a way to reduce his sentence while asserting that he was innocent.
The father was accused of 39 counts of abusing two boys, who lived near his home, over a five-year period.
Villers-Farrow, told the court he entered the plea because it was the quickest way he could serve time and get home to his wife, Sandra Hall, according to the Capital Gazette.
He now faces up to ten years in prison when sentenced later this year.
If found guilty on all 39 counts he could have been sentenced to 50 years, according to NBC Washington. (more...)
