A former Hawkeye football player accused of second- and third-degree sexual abuse has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, according to online court records.
Abe Satterfield, 21, is accused of raping a female Hawkeye athlete in fall 2007 at Hillcrest. Another former Hawkeye football player, Cedric Everson, 20, was also accused with second-degree sexual abuse in connection with the incident.
Satterfield’s trial, which has been delayed numerous times, was set to begin Monday. Instead, a sentencing hearing has been scheduled for July 23.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this brief indicated Satterfield pleaded guilty to second- and third-degree sexual abuse. In fact, Satterfield pleaded guilty to a lesser charge. The DI regrets this error.
