An Auburn man pleaded guilty in Cayuga County Court Tuesday to the felony crimes of attempted rape and the criminal possession of a weapon.
Michael Mahunik, 20, of 122 S. Fulton St., Auburn, admitted that on January 8 he attempted to rape a 14-year-old girl in the bathroom of a Genesee Street laundry and to using a pocketknife in a separate incident on January 2 to threaten a teenager.
Mahunik also admitted he had a previous third-degree menacing conviction, which is a misdemeanor.
