An Eagle teenager charged with raping five teenage girls over the course of about six months pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of battery with the intent to commit a serious felony.
Cory Campbell, who is just 17, was initially charged with rape in five different criminal cases. Police and prosecutors believed that between September 2018 and March, he raped five girls, all of whom they believe he knew.
The Idaho Press reports, deputies began investigating Campbell in March, and arrested him in June.
Although Campbell is 17 years old, he faced charges as an adult, because rape is one of nine crimes in Idaho for which juveniles are automatically charged as adults.
Campbell faces up to 40 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000, and must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
