An Austin man pleaded guilty Thursday to sleeping with and impregnating a teenage minor.
Nathaniel James McKee, 24, of Austin changed his plea to guilty to charges of felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a victim 13 to 15 years old.
On Feb. 13, 2015, Austin Police Officers received a child protection report regarding a pregnant 16-year-old, according to court records.
The report indicated the victim was impregnated by McKee before her 16th birthday. The victim confirmed she and McKee had sex when she was 15 and that McKee was aware of her age.
McKee admitted to the incident and described the event as “a lapse in judgment.”
McKee is scheduled to be sentenced on June 9.
