A former band teacher on Maui accused of sexually assaulting a female student is admitting to many of the charges.
Jim Balicanta pled guilty to several charges of first and third degree sexual assault.
In a deal with prosecutors, some of the charges were dropped.
Authorities say the assaults happened between 2008 and 2010, and started when the student was in the 8th grade.
Balicanta faces 20 years in prison when he is sentenced in November.
