Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Cornibe said in the October 16 Daily Pennsylvanian student newspaper that Mosher’s admission of guilt was not part of a plea agreement. He simply “decided he wanted to plead guilty” and avoid standing trial. The two charges—one for possession of child pornography and the other for unlawful use of a communication facility—each carry a maximum penalty of seven years in prison.
Mosher remains free on bail until he returns to court January 21 for sentencing.
