Olympic gold medal wrestler Kyle Snyder will reportedly plead guilty to a lesser charge after his arrest in a Columbus, Ohio prostitution sting last week.

A three-time NCAA champion at Ohio State, Snyder was charged with engaging in prostitution, a first-degree misdemeanor. He will plead guilty to disorderly conduct when he appears in court on May 19. his attorney told Columbus' WCMH-TV. That would be a fourth-degree misdemeanor.

Snyder, 29, allegedly responded to an online ad for escort services posted by Columbus police and paid an undercover officer $160 in cash to solicit a sex act in a hotel room.
