PORT ANGELES — The former principal at a Christian school in northwestern Washington has pleaded guilty to raping and molesting children.

Douglas J. Allison, 55, was arrested by Clallam County Sheriff’s detectives last March and charged with 12 counts of child molestation and rape after two girls reported they had been assaulted by Allison at the Mountain View Christian School in Sequim.

Court documents show that Allison, during a phone conversation with one victim’s mother, admitted to touching the girls.

As part of the prosecutor’s plea deal, Allison pleaded guilty to two counts of child molestation and two counts of child rape. Prosecutors say they will ask a judge to sentence Allison to 24 years in prison.

Allison’s sentencing hearing is scheduled to take place next month.
