An elderly speed skating coach in Syracuse has pleaded guilty today to charges that he sexually abused a 13 year old student.
73 year old Peter Von Zwehl admitted to the abuse while he was training the young girl at his house a year ago. Prosecutors claim there were allegations that the abuse occurred more than one time, but he's only pleaded guilty to an incident that occurred in August of last year.
Von Zwehl is expected to get seven years in prison when he's sentenced later this year, but until then he'll remain free on bail.
