The BROWN Sisters - Accused: Keith Scott Brown - Provo UT

How 'Terribly Remorseful' 5 Browns Dad Struck a Deal


Even the perpetrator's own lawyer admits his acts were "reprehensible" and "deplorable."

So what led Keith Scott Brown to make surprise guilty pleas in a Provo, Utah, courtroom Thursday, capping a deal for the horrors against own children?

His journey to justice began last year when Brown, a Mormon, approached his bishop at the Church of Latter Day Saints to confess his crimes, his attorneys say. These crimes included abusing his daughters Desirae, 32, Deondra, 30, and Melody, 26, all members of the popular Julliard-trained quintet of siblings.

Brown pleaded guilty to sodomy on a child under 14, and two charges of sex abuse of a child, all felonies.

Prosecutors dismiss the claim that Brown, 55, revealed his own transgression. They say the abuse actually came to light only after his daughters reported their father's crimes to police when they discovered he planned to manage child musicians again.

Both sides agree on one thing, however: Brown is guilty.
