STAUNTON — Brian M. Peduto, 21, of Staunton, a former corrections officer at Augusta Correctional Center in Craigsville, pleaded guilty Tuesday to taking indecent liberties with a minor.

In July, Peduto contacted a 12-year-old girl and asked her for sex, according to authorities.

Initially charged with soliciting sex from a minor via electronic means, the charge was amended to indecent liberties Tuesday in Augusta County Circuit Court, a felony that carries the possibility of 10 years in prison.
