He was charged with felony sexual abuse inconnection with the girls' complaints, but pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child, amisdemeanor, in exchange for three years' probation. The city had placed the girls, who are now 11and 12, in Lozada's home through a Westchester-based child-placement agency, Leake & Watts,which also has been sued.

A Leake & Watts social worker knew that Lozada has been charged with sexual assault in 1977,but had pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
