Former Old Forge firefighter Walter Chiavacci admitted this morning in Lackawanna County Court to fondling a 15-year-old girl in 2004.
Mr. Chiavacci, 47, who appeared for the hearing this morning before Judge Vito P. Geroulo, pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault.
Prosecutors dropped other charges - one count of aggravated indecent assault and corruption of minors - after Mr. Chiavacci agreed to testify in the upcoming trials of suspended police Capt. Jamie Krenitsky and police Chief Larry Semenza.
Capt. Krenitsky and Chief Semenza are also accused of sexually assaulting the girl.
The Times-Tribune does not identify victims of sexual assault.
Indecent assault carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison.
