A Clark County man facing multiple counts of incest and sodomy will likely serve one year on a reduced charge from a plea agreement.
Jeffrey Plunk, 56, of 273 Cole Road, was arrested in February on a sealed indictment from Clark Circuit Court charging him with four counts of incest, two counts of first-degree sodomy, two counts of second-degree sodomy and one count of third-degree sodomy.
The indictment listed four different victims and incidents between 2007 and 2016.
Thursday, he pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree sexual abuse, which included all three victims and incidents between 2010 and 2016.
Prosecutors recommended a one year sentence. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 17.
The case was investigated by Winchester Police.
