An Ann Arbor man with a dozen world championship hacky sack titles pleaded guilty to a sexual assault charge.
Gregory Nelson, 42, pleaded guilty to an added count of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct at a recent pre-trial hearing, court records show. The original four counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct will be dismissed at sentencing on Aug. 26. He was scheduled to go to trial in the fall.
Nelson is a 12-time World Doubles Champion in hacky sack and a professional Frisbee player who worked as an independent contractor for Flying Aces in Sharon Township.
Authorities charged him in April after investigating allegations made by a young woman who came forward to a friend, police said. The offenses date back to January 1996, records show.
A sentencing agreement with Circuit Judge David Swartz is in place, but further details were unavailable.
Fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct is a misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in prison. Second-degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Nelson remains free on a personal bond pending sentencing.
