FOREST CITY — A Forest City man accused of harboring a runaway, sexual abuse and drug crimes has entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors.

21-year-old Angel Gonzalez Rentas was arrested in late September after an investigation. A criminal complaint states that between August 30th and September 27th of this year, Rentas would allow underage females to enter the back room of a Forest City fast food restaurant, providing them with alcohol and marijuana. Rentas also is accused of having sex with two girls under the age of 16, sheltered a 15-year-old girl who was a runaway who he described as his girlfriend, and physically assaulted two others.

Rentas was originally charged with two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, distribution of marijuana to a minor, harboring a runaway, a first offense sex offender registry violation, six counts of unsupervised access to a minor by a person required to register, supplying alcohol to a minor, and two counts of assault causing bodily injury.

As part of a recently-filed plea agreement, Rentas has pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, two counts of unsupervised access to a minor, and failure to register as a sex offender. He’s due to be sentenced on February 25th.
