WINCHESTER -- A man authorities say fled the country to avoid trial on a sex crime charge pleaded guilty Tuesday for failing to appear in court 10 years ago.
William Dick II appeared in Frederick County Circuit Court with his attorney, public defender Timothy Coyne.
Dick, 30, of Polk City, Fla., pleaded guilty to the felony charge of failing to appear in the court Jan. 9, 2002. Retired Judge Benjamin Kendrick accepted the plea.
Kendrick set Dick's charge of forcible sodomy for a jury trial April 27. The judge delayed sentencing on the failure to appear charge until the same date.
Authorities investigating the case found Dick in Costa Rica after receiving tips the defendant had appeared on the MTV show, "The Hills."
