A former Murray State cheerleader entered an Alford plea Wednesday in Calloway County Circuit Court for a 2019 case where he was originally arraigned on a first-degree rape charge.
Dannis Seay pleaded guilty to one count of sexual misconduct, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a maximum term of one year in prison.
Under an Alford plea, a defendant maintains their innocence, but acknowledges that the prosecution’s evidence could convince a jury to find the defendant guilty.
Seay’s plea agreement also includes an order prohibiting him from contacting the victim.
