A Solon man accused of sexually abusing two girls has entered a guilty plea.
Online records show 50-year-old Robert Egesdal of Highway 1 Northeast entered the plea Friday in a deal with prosecutors.
According to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, Egesdal began a pattern of sexually assaulting a young girl at his residence starting in 2014 when she was 12. The alleged abuse continued through April of 2019.
The victim told investigators that she resisted Egesdal’s advances on numerous occasions, but he persisted and forced himself on her multiple times.
The alleged assaults happened when Egesdal was watching the girl while her mother was at work.
A relative of Egesdal’s also told investigators that Egesdal inappropriately touched her at his residence on June 12th of 2019. The girl said she told him “no” multiple times, but he continued the abuse.
Egesdal is charged with five counts of 3rd Degree Sexual Abuse and one count of Indecent Contact with a Child. If convicted on all counts, he could have faced a maximum of 52 years in prison.
Terms of the plea deal were not released. Egesdal’s next court appearance is set for September 13th.
