<p>The father of a US classical music group has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing his daughters when they were children in a deal that will send him to prison for at least 10 years.</p>
<p>Keith Brown&#8217;s three daughters and two sons are part of the piano group The 5 Browns, whose albums have topped the classical music charts and who have appeared on Oprah and other TV shows.</p>
<p>With scratches and bruises on his face from a crash in which his Porsche plunged 300ft into a canyon three days earlier, Brown, 55, entered his plea to three felony counts in Fourth District Court in Provo, Utah.</p>
<p>&#8220;He is terribly remorseful for what has happened and for what he has put his family through,&#8221; defence attorney Steven Shapiro said after the hearing. &#8220;He recognises that this is the next step in the long road to trying to accept responsibility for something terrible that he did a long time ago.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brown, 55, appeared in court with his sister-in-law by his side. His response to the judge when asked for his plea on each charge was a barely audible, &#8220;guilty&#8221;. He did not speak further during the hearing and declined to answer questions from reporters afterwards. He remained free until his sentencing on March 31, after prosecutors said they do not consider him a threat.</p>
<p>Brown chose to enter the plea to bring a quick resolution to the case and did not want to &#8220;exacerbate the harm&#8221; by dragging out the proceedings, Mr Shapiro said.</p>
<p>Utah County prosecutors charged Brown with one first-degree felony count of sexual activity with a child and two second-degree felony counts of sexual abuse of a child.</p>
<p>He could face up to life in prison on the first-degree felony and up to 15 years each on the second-degree felonies. Under the plea deal with prosecutors, he will serve at least a decade in prison.</p>
<p>The records filed on February 10 in the abuse case do not identify any victim by name or indicate the relationship between Keith Brown and the alleged victims. However, Kimball Thomson, a spokesman for The 5 Browns, said the charges involve Brown&#8217;s daughters and group members Desirae, 32, Deondra, 30, and Melody, 26.</p>
<p>The women have waived their anonymity and are co-operating with police, Ms Thomson said. None of the women were in court, but in a statement Ms Thomson said the sisters were satisfied with the plea agreement.</p>
