A Virginia man has admitted to slashing the backsides of several women in 2011.
Johnny Guillén Pimentel, who is 42 and a native of Peru, pleaded guilty Monday in Fairfax County Circuit Court to two counts each of malicious wounding and unlawful wounding.
The former day laborer sneaked up on multiple women in northern Virginia and cut their backsides with a razor blade or box cutter.

In at least one instance, Guillén Pimentel is believed to have hidden his weapon under a shopping bag while sneaking up behind one his victims, the Post said.
“The woman, 20, noticed the man hovering behind her and then felt a sharp pain. Before she determined what had happened, he slipped off into the crowd,” the story said.

Guillén Pimentel is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 6. He faces up to seven years in prison.
