Frank John Selas III -- who hosted the "Mr. Wonder" show on KNOE-TV in Louisiana -- pleaded guilty in Louisiana to one count of indecent behavior with a child, Rapides Parish Assistant District Attorney Brian Mosley said in a statement.

Selas could be eligible for parole in July 2018, with credit from the July 2016 arrest, Mosley said.
