The Las Vegas Sun reports ( https://bit.ly/n86j8I) that 30-year-old Michael Whitehead acknowledged Monday he could face two to 20 years in prison at sentencing Jan. 19 and will have to register as a sex offender.
Whitehead had faced sexual assault, attempted sexual assault and lewdness charges after a 32-year-old woman accused him of attacking her while she slept at his home following a party.
Police say a second woman alleged Whitehead groped her.
Whitehead competes as “Iron Mike” Whitehead. He has a record of 26 wins and seven losses.
