Former Penn State football player Wilkerson sentenced to five years probation

A former Penn State tight end has been sentenced to five years of probation.

Wilkerson entered into a egotistic plea agreement, pleading guilty to the third count in his case, indecent assault by forcible compulsion.

According to Centre County Judge Jonathan Grine, the prosecution agreed not to press another count of indecent assault without consent and merged a harassment count. All three charges were misdemeanors.

The charges stem from an incident in which Wilkerson, who had been drinking, fell asleep in the bed of a sober 24-year-old woman. The woman later woke to an underwear-clad Wilkerson kissing and touching her before exposing himself and masturbating.
