Easton Man Takes Plea in Child Rape Case

Earlier this year, Easton police charged Jose Lebron Sr. with a series of gruesome sex crimes against three boys. 

On Thursday, Lebron agreed to a plea deal in Northampton County Court that allowed him to admit to lesser charges -- corrupting minors and indecent assault -- the Morning Call reports.

Lebron, 37, initally faced much more series charges, but they were reduced after one of the victims in the case was able to recall some of the more series allegations. 

In making his plea, Lebron admitted that he made the boys watch pornography, fondled them, and had them fondle him. The crimes occurred in the summer of 2006 at his home in the West Ward.

His girlfriend, Sharon Frable, is charged with similar offenses. Her case is listed on the county's trial list for next week, but it's not clear whether it will go to trial.
