"Guilty," Rex Heuermann said when asked how he now pleads.
"I'll accept your pleas of guilty," Judge Timothy Mazzei said.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 17.
Heuermann is being escorted out of the courtroom as Mazzei addresses attendees.
"I don't know where you all have to be, but you have to get the hell out of here," Mazzei jokingly told the audience as the proceeding ended.
