''A new murder charge and a new plea for the 14-year-old boy accused of killing the two-year-old girl he was babysitting. At his arraignment Monday morning, Alec Champagne pleaded guilty to second degree murder and sexually abusing the toddler. Our Sarah Hagen tells us what happened in the courtroom.''

''Alec Champagne said, "I backhanded her."
Just one of several blows to the child's face that Champagne admitted to. He also described knocking her to the ground repeatedly throughout the night. When Honorable Barry Donalty asked the defendant what he did next, Champagne was speechless. Aggravated sexual abuse, a charge that even the defendant found it uncomfortable to talk about.''

''Champagne, 14, said he was afraid that his crimes would be discovered as he pleaded guilty Monday in connection with Melissa’s June death.''
