When confronted, the suspect admitted to sexually abusing the boys and ran away with a gun, threatening to kill himself, the affidavit said.

One of the boys said the suspect sexually assaulted him seven to eight times. At least two of the boys were related to the suspect, who would babysit them at times, according to the affidavit.
