Michigan's Grant Perry was sentenced to 12 months probation and 60 hours of community service Friday for his role in an incident at an East Lansing bar last fall.
The Wolverines wide receiver pleaded guilty to one felony count of resisting a police officer and one misdemeanor count of assault and battery earlier this summer, according to Nick Baumgardner of Mlive.com.
As part of the plea deal, Perry saw two charges of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct removed from his record.
The incident that led to the charges occurred in last October, when Perry was accused of grabbing a woman in line outside a night club. The victim gave a lengthy statement in the courtroom, describing the incident in full detail.
"The defendant's eyes were one thing I'll never forget. His wide eyes while he was saying foul words, licking his lips, hunching his shoulders over me and then grabbing the most personal part of my body with intent to make me feel as if I had no control over my body," she said. "I had to physically shove him off of me, causing him to stumble backwards. When he got up and went to rush back toward me, a friend had to once again push him back. Both of us feared he'd continue to assault me."
Michigan suspended Perry for two games immediately after the incident, but he returned to play the final four weeks of the season. After he was formally charged in December, Perry was not allowed to play in the bowl game or participate in spring practice.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh has allowed the receiver to participate in preseason practices, but won't permit him to play in games until the legal issues are resolved. It's unclear whether Friday's decision will result in his playing status being changed.
Michigan opens the season on Sept. 2 against Florida.
