A man who authorities say tried to have sex with a 15-year-old girl is expected to receive two years’ probation after he pleaded no contest to a felony charge of sexual misconduct.
Michael Akiyoshi, 50, of Nevada County, will also perform 100 hours of mandatory community service under the terms of the plea agreement his defense attorney reached with prosecutors. Two other felony charges against Akiyoshi will be dropped as part of the plea deal, and he will not serve any time in state prison, according to Akiyoshi’s defense attorney, David Alkire.
Akiyoshi pleaded no contest April 30 to one count of inducing sex through false representation, and he will be sentenced on May 28, records show. The other charges against him, that will be dismissed, were for meeting a minor for lewd purposes and having contact with a minor for a sexual offense, both felonies. As a part of his sentence, he will have to register as a sex offender with the state of California, the Nevada County District Attorney’s Office said.
