CHILDREN'S `GRAMPY' ADMITS SEX CHARGES

A truck driver and night watchman who was known as "Grampy Carl" to neighborhood children has pleaded guilty to 10 felony charges that he repeatedly molested them.

Carl L. Whitehurst, 54, could get up to 125 years in prison when he is sentenced April 16. He also faces related charges in Virginia Beach.

Whitehurst was arrested in August after the youngsters told police of sex acts and episodes of nudity. Detectives seized hundreds of nude and seminude photos. - Associated Press
