YORK, Neb. (AP) — YORK – A convicted sex offender has made a plea deal and admitted to attempted sexual assault of a 15-year-old.

Local media reports that Jason Morehead, of York, also pleaded no contest to illegally possessing prescription drugs.

As part of the plea agreement, the misdemeanor procuring charge was dropped and the sexual assault charge was lowered to attempted first-degree sexual assault.

Sentencing on both charges is scheduled for Aug. 6.

Morehead is a registered sex offender with a 25-year reporting requirement. He was convicted of first-degree false imprisonment of a minor in June 2005, in Seward County.
