Brown, 55, pleaded guilty to one count of sodomy upon a child and two additional counts of sexual abuse in Provo, Utah, today, days after he was released from the hospital following a dramatic car accident.

"He pleaded guilty," Brown's lawyer, Steven Shapiro, told ABC News.com. "This was the next step in a long process in attempting to accept responsibility for deplorable contact with his daughters that happened many years ago."

Brown was accused of sodomizing a child younger than 14 between November 1990 and November 1992, according to a criminal complaint filed in court Feb. 10. He was also accused of molesting his children between March 1997 and March 1998.

ABCNews.com typically does not report the names of child sex-abuse victims, but a spokesman for the 5 Browns said all three of Brown's daughters -- Desirae, 32, Deondra, 30, and Melody, 26 -- have chosen to be identified and have cooperated with the investigation.

1. Shocking and Sad.

Those poor children!

I hope this gives the children some form of closure so that their healing may begin.
