Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson said Camerer is expected to plead guilty to one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct as part of a plea agreement.

According to reports, Camerer spoke with authorities on May 12, at which time he “stated no admission of having contact or sexual intercourse … and did not know why they would say that he had had sexual contact and sexual intercourse with them.”

Nelson said Camerer likely faces four years in prison.
