He has admitted that he sexually abused four minor girls, all under the age of six, while he was a volunteer with the United States Peace Corps in South Africa, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

Osmun will be sentenced Sept. 19, and he faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years and a fine of up to $250,000.
