A former Baylor University fraternity president accused of rape at an off-campus party has agreed to plead no contest to a lesser charge that would allow him to avoid prison and the sex offender registry.

Jacob Walter Anderson, 24, entered a plea to unlawful restraint on Monday after he was indicted on four counts of sexual assault for a 2016 incident at a party near the private Christian school in Waco, Texas.

That lesser charge comes with the agreement that he will serve three years of deferred probation, counseling and pay a $400 fine, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported.

The deal must be approved by 19th State District Judge Ralph Strother, who will review the case in six weeks. If he rejects the deal, the case could go to trial, according to the Tribune-Herald.
