According to Jason Riley of WDRB, former Louisville assistant coach Dino Gaudio is expected to plead guilty in his federal extortion case.
Here is an excerpt:
Former University of Louisville basketball assistant coach Dino Gaudio is scheduled for a change of plea hearing on June 4, which indicates he will plead guilty in his federal extortion case.
Gaudio is scheduled that day to be arraigned on a charge of Interstate Communication with Intent to Extort, a felony which carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison. A change of plea hearing will follow his arraignment, according to court records.
It was expected Gaudio had already worked out a plea agreement with prosecutors, because he waived his right to have his case presented to a grand jury. And his attorneys have said he would take responsibility for his actions, which were caught on tape.
There is no indication in court records as to whether the plea agreement will require Gaudio to spend any time incarcerated. He is eligible for probation.
