OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former Douglas County sheriff’s deputy accused of extorting a woman into sex has taken a plea deal and been convicted of assault.

Court records say 31-year-old Cory Cooper on Wednesday pleaded no contest to the assault charge and to one of attempted evidence tampering. Prosecutors initially charged Cooper with felony sex assault but lowered the charge in exchange for his pleas.

Cooper is scheduled to be sentenced on June 10.

He was arrested after a 19-year-old woman reported that he forced her into a sex act so she could get a friend out of trouble in February 2013. Cooper was fired later.
