I think there were two pleas.
But yes. It's just going to be a question of damages at this point in the civil case. Where I think it may be squishy (and it may not be, YMMV from state to state) is whether the father will be allowed to testify that he only plead guilty because he got no time and was already a registered sex-offender, which beat a chance, however small of going to prison.
I'm sure his more than capable law firm has that angle figured out.
