A snowshoe racer from India has avoided a New York trial for sex abuse by pleading guilty to endangering the welfare of a child. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports 25-year-old Tanveer Hussain is from the Kashmir region and entered the plea Wednesday in Essex County Court. Hussain now awaits deportation. Hussain originally faced a felony charge of sexual abuse for what police termed "a passionate kiss" with a 12-year-old. There was no accusation of force, and no other allegations were made.
