A 28-year-old man pleaded guilty on Thursday, Feb. 20 to sexually assaulting two underage teen girls in Orange County.
Ian Carter Wallinger pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, according to court records. As part of the plea deal with prosecutors, 10 other felony sexual assault counts were dismissed and Wallinger is scheduled to be sentenced on March 28.
When he was charged in July of 2018, a prosecutor said authorities spent months attempting to track down Wallinger, who was charged then with 18 felony sex crime counts, including one count of forcible rape.
Wallinger’s city of residence was not provided. It was also unclear where in the county the crimes occurred.
The assaults on the victims who were 15 and 16 years old occurred between May and September of 2017, the prosecutor said.
The investigation began when one of the girls came forward to authorities and alleged she was raped by the defendant, according to the prosecutor.
