A former Southwest Missouri foster parent says he`s guilty of sex abuse. Tad King had originally entered a plea of not guilty to two counts of sexual abuse of a minor and one count of statutory sodomy, but today he changed his plea. King entered a guilty plea to one count of statutory sodomy, one count of first-degree sexual misconduct and one count of sex abuse. Investigators alleged that King molested three boys, two of which lived with him as foster children. Prosecutors say by entering the guilty plea, none of the victims will have to testify. The prosecutor`s office has recommended up to 20 years in prison. A Jasper County judge will decide the sentence on February 11th.
