“If he complies with the judge’s orders, he will not have to serve out his term, but if he fails to comply with those orders or re-offends, he could be ordered to serve out the year behind bars. By law, he is expected to register as a sex offender,” the statement read.

Again, I sincerely apologize and am sorry for any hurt, damage, or offense I may have caused,” he said in a statement.
