Quarterback recruit Carlton Hill accepted a plea agreement that will end the legal aspect of his sexual encounter with a 16-year old female student last month at Jefferson County High School. The deal requires Hill to serve six months of probation, perform 25 hours of community service, pay $190 court costs and have no contact with the girl. Hill faces further discipline at a school board meeting Monday.

I know that was a blurb in the St Pete Times, but there was a more complete story in the trib which I posted on the recruiting board. Here it is again:

USF Recruit Receives 6 Months Of Probation

Published: Mar 9, 2005

TAMPA - South Florida's highly touted quarterback recruit Carlton Hill received six months of non-reporting probation Tuesday after entering a written no-contest plea to misdemeanor charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, his attorney said.

Hill was charged after being caught having consensual sex at Monticello Jefferson County High School with a 16-year-old female on Feb. 16. Hill also must perform 25 hours of community service, pay $190 in court costs and can have no contact with the female.

``The Carlton Hill saga is over,'' attorney David Collins said. ``Adjudication was withheld so there will be no formal record.''

Since Hill's 10-day suspension from school ended last week, he has been attending an ``opportunity school.''

``This will allow him to fully complete his education and graduate,'' Collins said.

Jefferson County's school board meets Monday and at that time County Superintendent Phil Barker may reinstate Hill to Jefferson County High School or decide if further punishment is warranted for Hill, rated among the nation's top quarterbacks.
