A La Mesa man pleaded guilty Wednesday to molesting two minors and videotaping them while engaged in lewd acts.
Michael Tobin, 51, who sold radio equipment to police departments in San Diego and Chula Vista, entered his guilty pleas before San Diego Superior Court Judge William Mudd.
In a plea-bargain agreement in which Tobin will face no more than 10 years in state prison, Mudd dismissed 46 other counts of child molestation and sexual exploitation of children. Five other youths were allegedly involved.
Sentencing was set for Nov. 15. Tobin remains free on $100,000 bail.
