A Texas man who managed an orphanage in Malawi has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing orphans at the East African facility.

Gerald Campbell pleaded guilty before a U.S. magistrate Wednesday in Midland, Texas, to one count of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place.

The 66-year-old Odessa man could get 10 years to life in prison. Sentencing hasn’t been scheduled yet.

To entice the children, Campbell said he offered access to better accommodations and amenities such as hot water.
