One of the four Torrington High School football players arrested in connection with a sexual assault case has pleaded guilty and will serve nine months in prison.
Joan Toribio, 18, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, suspended after nine months, and will be on probation for 10 years.
Toribio was charged with sex assaults of two 13-year-old Torrington Middle School students.
He will undergo a sex offender evaluation and cannot have any contact with victim or her family.
Four teens were charged in the case, which rocked the community.
One victim was threatened through social media, which forced school administrators to send out a letter to parents warning that students could be suspended, or even expelled, for cyber bullying.
In the wake of the arrests, there were allegations of cyber-bullying aimed at a victim. The superintendent warned that inappropriate comments made against a student or staff member could lead to punishment, including possible expulsion.
Edgar Gonzalez, 18, is also accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in January and will appear in court today.
Gonzalez's lawyer, J. Patten Brown III, has said the allegations against his client appear to involve consensual, but statutorily illegal, sex.
A 17-year-old Torrington High School student and a 17-year-old football player were also charged.
