Man admits rape charges in broadcast sex assaults of boy, 6

CARLISLE, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man has admitted he sexually assaulted a 6-year-old boy after authorities say they intercepted an internet broadcast of him raping the child and later discovered 10 other recorded assaults of the boy. 

PennLive.com reports 20-year-old William Byers Augusta pleaded guilty in Carlisle on Tuesday to charges including rape of a child. 

Prosecutors say Canadian authorities intercepted a broadcast of Byers Augusta sexually assaulting the boy in July 2015. 

Investigators found videos showing Byers Augusta assaulting the child, including one of him and 62-year-old Ira Task simultaneously sexually assaulting the child. 

Authorities say Task didn’t wear protection despite knowing he had been HIV positive since 1994. Task was sentenced in June to 17½ to 40 years in prison. 

Byers Augusta’s sentencing is scheduled for January.
