>>>The 33-year-old pleaded guilty to federal charges of crossing state lines to sexually assault a child and possession of child pornography.
Am I reading this wrong? Is this saying he wasn't charged for committing the acts?

--> Sounds like maybe he plea bargained and maybe got a lesser charge for admitting, i don't know but he should definately get executed. This scum is useless to society.
These are just the federal charges. State charges were also lodged against him.

NEWARK, N.J. -- A former assistant scoutmaster jailed on federal child pornography charges was accused Thursday of molesting about a half-dozen boys from 1989 to 2004 in two several Essex County towns, the county prosecutor's office said.
Kevin Hildreth, 35, of Nutley, was a caretaker for three children in Nutley, where he fondled them and videotaped one in a sexually explicit act, the office said.
Hildreth is also charged with committing similar acts upon three children in Belleville, including confining a child in a locked room while he videotaped sexual abuse.
He is charged in Nutley with three counts of child endangerment and two counts of sexual assault by sexual contact. In Belleville, the charges include kidnapping and criminal restraint, seven counts of child endangerment, and sexual assault by sexual contact.
The prosecutor's office said many incidents happened while Hildreth was supervising children at the Wesley Methodist Church in Belleville, where he was a volunteer.

I think its worse when you cross state lines to commit a crime.
Why don't they just charge him with 1 count of being a sick, demented f#ck and render him to the custody of Michael Schiavo for care and rehabilitation?
No, I think this means there is no federal statute governing child molestation. It also means once the Feds are done with him the States can go after him. At least, this is my assumption.
