A Camas man already convicted at trial of child exploitation charges pleaded guilty Thursday to additional counts of abusing and blackmailing teenage girls.
Zachary William Akers, 21, pleaded guilty to communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, cyberstalking and second-degree assault with a sexual motivation.
The girls Akers communicated with were ages 14 to 16 years old, according to court records.
His sentencing was scheduled for Sept. 15.
In the earlier case, prosecutors said he exploited two teenage girls after he befriended them online then pressured them to send him sexual photos and videos.
A jury agreed, and Akers was convicted in late April of two counts each of second-degree possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, sexual exploitation of a minor, and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, along with one count each of second-degree internet viewing depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, second-degree dealing in depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, and attempted sexual exploitation of a minor.
The recent counts, which he pleaded to Thursday, were already pending when the jury made its decision in the April trial.
