Douglas Polk wants to change his guilty plea.

By KWGS News

Tulsa, OK – A hearing will resume next Thursday as to whether self-confessed rapist Douglas Polk will be allowed to recant his guilty plea to raping young girls.

Among the cases he is accused of involved a five-year-old Broken Arrow girl who sexually assaulted and left abandon along a rural road.

Polk was sentenced to six life terms last month. After the sentence was handed down, he announced he wanted to change his plea.
