US Man Admits Raping Boy, 6, After Canadian Authorities Intercept Broadcast

The Canadian Press, 19 Oct, 2016 10:58 AM
    CARLISLE, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man has admitted he sexually assaulted a six-year-old boy after Canadian authorities intercepted an Internet broadcast of him raping the child.
     
    U.S. authorities later discovered 10 other recorded assaults of the boy.
     
    PennLive.com reports 20-year-old William Byers Augusta pleaded guilty in Carlisle on Tuesday to charges including rape of a child.
     
    Prosecutors say Canadian authorities intercepted a broadcast of Byers Augusta sexually assaulting the boy in July 2015.
     
    Investigators found videos showing Byers Augusta assaulting the child, including one of him and 62-year-old Ira Task simultaneously sexually assaulting the child.
     
    Authorities say Task didn't wear protection despite knowing he had been HIV positive since 1994.
     
    Task was sentenced in June to 17 1/2 to 40 years in prison.
     
    Byers Augusta's sentencing is scheduled for January.
