LANSING, Mich. — A Lansing man accused of abusing his five children will not have to go through a trial.
The Lansing State Journal reports Yenier Conde pleaded 'No contest' to two counts of second-degree child abuse in Ingham County Circuit Court.
In 2018, Yenier Conde and this then-wife Sarah were charged after police say they locked their children in a dark room that police have described as a dungeon.
The children ranged in age from six to 11 and investigators say they had no access to a toilet and did not have food or water in the room.
The alleged abuse happened over the span of several years.
Sarah Conde pleaded guilty to second-degree child abuse.
Yenier Conde faces up to 10 years in prison and as part of his plea deal prosecutors have agreed to drop more than a dozen charges against him. He will be sentenced July 28.
Sarah Conde is also scheduled to be sentenced in July.
