A registered sex offender entered a guilty plea Tuesday to child molestation charges. 

A Houston man will be sentenced May 6 on six felony charges after being found guilty by a Phelps County jury, the Missouri attorney general’s office said.

Steven Woolsey was found guilty on five counts of defrauding a secured creditor and one count of possession or sale of equipment with altered identification numbers, all class D felonies. Each count involved required the equipment to be worth in excess of $500.

The sentencing range is one to five years in the Missouri Department of Corrections or up to one year in the county jail and/or a fine that does not exceed $5,000, according to an attorney general spokeswoman.

Most of the charges stem from 2013.

The two-day jury trial was March 22-23.
