NEWTON -- The Hopatcong father who's accused of abducting his two sons and fleeing to Florida with an alleged rapist last year resumed discussions with the prosecution Monday about a 12-year plea deal in exchange for pleading guilty to two counts of kidnapping, his attorney confirmed.

Kristopher Dohm would have to serve at least 85 percent of the sentence -- a little more than 10 years -- before he becomes eligible for parole under the terms of the deal, Dohm's attorney Miles Feinstein said.

Feinstein said motions are expected to be filed in this case by July and a motion hearing will be held on Sept. 14.

Dohm, 37, had a custody arrangement with his two sons, Jaxon, then 7, and Parker, then, 8, but his former wife, Sandra Hughes Dohm, contacted authorities on Feb. 5, 2015 after he failed to return the boys as expected to her home in the Landing section of Roxbury.

The arrangement was put in place after the couple's 2012 divorce, Hopatcong and State Police have said.

Dohm was located with the boys on March 18, 2015 at the Royal Palm Inn in New Port Richey, Fla.

Authorities tracked Dohm and his childhood friend, Edward William Tarras, to the hotel after determining their location from a cell phone registered to Tarras.

Tarras, a fugitive who originally came from the Budd Lake section of Mount Olive, had been on the lam since August when he cut off his ankle monitor and failed to appear at a pretrial hearing in Tennessee. Tarras was charged in March 2013 in a rape case involving a minor in that state.

After he and Tarras were located in Florida, Dohm waived extradition and the boys were reunited with their mother.
