Andrew Long, a former Penn State wrestler who went to trial for assaulting a woman when she was sleeping, was sentenced to one year in jail on Thursday.
Long will not be sent to state prison, though, and was not assessed to be a sexually violent predator, but he will be registered for life on the Megan’s Law database, according to the Centre Daily Times.
Long took a plea deal with the Centre County District Attorney’s Office, requiring him to plead guilty to aggravated indecent assault in return for the dismissal of an attempted rape charge.
