«Breaking News» Colorado hockey coach pleads guilty to molesting two boys

Andrew Vanderwal, a 28-year-old former hockey coach, pleaded guilty on Wednesday in Fort Collins, Colorado to molesting two young boys

A former Colorado volunteer hockey coach who fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution has pleaded guilty to molesting two boys after one of the victim's mothers hunted him down. 

Andrew Vanderwal, 28, entered the guilty plea on Wednesday in Fort Collins during a hearing attended by the boys' families. 

He faces between eight and 24 years in prison when he goes for sentencing in March. 

Vanderwal will also have to be on parole for 20 years to life after he is released under a plea deal.

Following his arrest in November 2016, Vanderwal fled to Mexico after posting bail. 

The mother of one of the victims, Lydia Lerma, posted an online plea which resulted in a tip - a family in Mexico had spotted the suspect and reached out to help. 

She traveled down to Mexico and found him, in a parking lot, with kids in his car. 

'There was part of me that wanted to kill him but all I could do honestly was cry,' she said.

She never approached him but she reported him to the FBI who arrested him the following month, in February this year. 

The FBI has said Vanderwal moved in with families of the children he coached after gaining their trust. 

Vanderwal abused Lerma's son, who was aged six at the time, when he shared a house with her ex-husband. 

Vanderwal fled to Mexico in 2016 after he posted bail following his arrest for molesting the two boys. The mom of one of the victims, Lydia Lerma, (above with her son) traveled to Mexico in pursuit of him and helped the FBI track him down

When Lerma discovered that Vanderwal had fled, she begged the FBI to do more to catch him once he was on the run. 

Not satisfied with the speed of the investigation, Lerma decided to take matters into her own hands and traveled to Mexico to hunt down her son's attacker. 

'I knew I had to do something,' she told KDVR.

Lerma posted about the ordeal on Facebook in a campaign to find him before a family in Mexico tipped her off about his whereabouts.

She described the moment she laid eyes on her son's abuser. 

'The emotions were overwhelming. There was part of me that wanted to jump out and grab him myself and handle the situation. There was part of me that wanted to kill him,' she said.

'All I could do honestly was cry. I sat on the floorboard of a rental car, and I was in the back seat and I just sobbed.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
