KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A Kenosha man who allegedly transformed his apartment into a pornographic shrine to young girls is avoiding a trial.

Kevin Derks pleaded guilty to 10 counts of possession of child pornography in Kenosha County. He was charged with 20 counts in November 2009, but 10 counts were dismissed Friday. His trial was to start March 28.

According to a criminal complaint, the 54-year-old arranged mannequins in a sex act and plastered every flat surface with pictures. The complaint said he also had a poster of actresses Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen with a caption inviting himself to join in sex acts with them.

Derks allegedly told investigators the world has gotten worse so he turned to children because they are beautiful. He denied ever having sexual contact with a child.
