SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Nicholas Jake Barton, the great-grandson of former British prime minister Winston Churchill, pleaded guilty Tuesday to drug charges.
Barton, 33, was arrested at his Sydney home in June 2006 during a series of raids in which police said they seized some 250,000 ecstasy tablets worth an estimated $13 million.
Barton, the son of James Barton and Arabella Spencer Churchill, pleaded guilty before Sydney's Local Court to knowingly taking part in the supply of a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
