Vanderbilt wide receiver Chris Boyd has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge for his role in the rape case involving four dismissed Commodore players.
Boyd was indicted August 16 on a felony charge of being an accessory after the fact to the alleged rape, which according to police took place in the dorm room of ex-Vandy tight end Brandon Vandenburg June 23.
Boyd pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of "criminal intent" to be an accessory, and was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days of probation.
The misdemeanor conviction will be wiped from Boyd's record if he completes the probation.
As part of Boyd's plea deal, he will cooperate with prosecutors in building the case against his four former teammates.
