A West Virginia Tech professor with a PhD in physics admits he molested two children.
71-year-old Keith Honey faces up to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to 1st degree sexual abuse and 2nd degree sexual assault.
The victims were the grandchildren of his girlfriend, an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. Their mother says the children will be in an emotional prison the rest of their lives.
The judge ordered Honey held without bond until his sentencing in March.
