PROVO — A former American Fork schoolteacher and baseball coach pleaded guilty Monday to two counts of sexual abuse of a child.
Brent Whitlock, 45, now faces the possibility of spending up to 15 years in prison for each second-degree felony count.
American Fork Police Lt. Andrew Hale said Whitlock was charged with sexual abuse when two of his alleged victims spoke of the abuse with leaders of their wards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Hale said in a statement that investigators found incidents going back as far as 1978 and ending in the fall of 2000.
However, Hale said many of the alleged incidents they investigated fell outside the statute of limitations.
