Kristian Allen Carl didn't turn himself into a vampire or a werewolf on Friday.

He just turned himself in.

Carl, 19, who was charged with statutory sexual assault after admitting he had sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl he had convinced he was a supernatural hybrid, was among 34 people wanted on bench warrants who turned themselves in to Schuylkill County authorities.

The warrants were issued for more than 200 people who had failed to show up for court hearings. They were given the one-time chance to surrender and possibly avoid jail time.

The turnout was ''pretty good,'' said county Detective Dennis Clark.

District Attorney James P. Goodman said Carl agreed to plead guilty in May to a charge of corruption of minors. He'll be sentenced to three years' probation.

The girl's family agreed to the plea, Goodman said.

Police say Carl believed himself to be a vampire/werewolf mix.

Asked by a reporter if he had believed that, Carl lowered his head and whispered, ''Yes. I watched a lot of movies.''

He said he no longer believes that.

Pottsville police Sgt. James Joos said Carl had shown him his canine teeth to prove his lineage and said he had a guardian dragon that protected him from evil-doers.

He was charged with statutory sexual assault after admitting he had sex with the girl, who told police he was her boyfriend, on Nov. 14, 2007, according to an affidavit Joos filed with District Judge Charles Moran of Pottsville.

Carl knew the girl's age and was aware he could ''get in trouble'' for having sex with a girl under age 16, Joos wrote.

On Friday, Carl said he believed the girl, whom he had known for about a year, was 16. Clad in a black T-shirt that matched his hair and sporting a safety-pin necklace and hematite piercings in his ears and eyebrow -- he said he usually wears one in his lip, too -- Carl sat quietly before meeting with public defender's office investigator Louise Howells.

The bench warrant against him was issued when he missed a Jan. 29 preliminary hearing before Moran.

Carl, of Pottsville, said he thinks the court may have sent the notice to the wrong address. ''I heard the cops were looking for me, I almost had a heart attack,'' he said. ''I didn't know there was a bench warrant out on me.''
