(KMZA)--A Wetmore man facing multiple counts of child sex crimes has entered into a plea agreement.

According to court documents, 52-year-old Robert Motto, Jr. pleaded no contest December 10th in Nemaha County District Court to one count each of rape and aggravated indecent solicitation of a child.

The court accepted his plea and found him guilty of the charges.

Motto had originally been charged with seven counts in the case.

Sentencing was set for January 29th.

Motto was arrested in July 2024 by the Kansas Bureau of investigation.

Motto remains held in the Nemaha County Jail without bond after the court ordered his bond be revoked.
