The attorneys defending Goldblatt, 64, who is under house arrest, released a
written document containing the defendant's statement.
Goldblatt has been charged with two counts of rape, two indecent acts, two of
sodomy and two counts of indecent acts with abuse of authority, as well as
attempted rape, attempted fraud and aggravated fraud.
The prosecution claims that in most of the cases, Goldblatt got the plaintiffs
to agree to sex by extolling their acting abilities and telling them he wanted
them to audition for the part in a play of a young girl seducing an older man.
Goldblatt admitted to conducting "partial sexual relations" with a complainant
who was 16.5 years old at the time, with her full consent. Goldblatt said he
had told her to bring clothes suitable to her role, and that he gave her one of
his own shirts to wear during rehearsal.
Goldblatt also admitted to conducting "full sexual relations" on several
occasions with another former student and complainant, who was 20 at the time,
also with her full consent. He said he signed a contract with her according to
which he would receive 40 percent of her profits from acting.
