The Vancouver man facing charges in a string of sexual assaults, including against two Delta teens, has pleaded guilty.
Ibata Hexamer, 44, pleaded guilty to six of the 23 charges he was facing in three sexual assault cases that spanned 15 years.
In the summer of 2009, Delta police issued a call for help in solving a twoyear-old cold case.
Almost five years ago, on Aug. 30, 2007 at 4: 30 p.m., Delta police officers responded to a report of a sexual assault involving two 14-year-old girls. The attack occurred in the 11200-block of 84th Avenue in North Delta.
The two girls were approached by a man in the area behind what used to be Marlborough College and subsequently assaulted.
A few weeks after the department made the appeal to the public, the same suspect struck again - this time in Surrey where a six-year-old girl was attacked.
Both cases were linked, through DNA evidence, to a 1995 sexual assault in Vancouver.
Hexamer, described by police as a "serial child sex predator," was arrested in Vancouver in December 2010. The investigation that led to the arrest and charges, which was dubbed Project Scourge, took place over more than 18 months and involved countless officers.
Hexamer is scheduled to be sentenced in October.
