A former Boy Scout leader admitted he molested two youths, pleading guilty to one count of sexual assault with a minor under 14 and one count of lewdness with a minor under 14.

Robert Stevenson, 34, sporting a bushy brown beard and wire-rimmed glasses, told District Judge Sally Loehrer he sexually assaulted an 8-year-old family friend and molested a 12-year-old relative in 2002 and 2003.

For the sexual assault charge, Stevenson must serve at least 10 years and as much as life in prison. He is also subject to supervision for the rest of his life.

Stevenson is to be sentenced on Dec. 6.
