GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Former attorney Carl Gabrielse will not have to register as a sex offender, the Ottawa County prosecutor said Monday.
Gabrielse was allowed to plead guilty to gross indecency between a male and female -- a five-year felony, which is less than his original charge of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Gabrielse was a private attorney working part-time for the city on contract. A victim said Gabrielse assaulted her in a restroom in the Ottawa County courthouse during a meeting to discuss a plea deal. She reported the incident immediately.
He was sentenced to time in jail -- and served six months on the delayed sentence -- and 12 months of probation; which will end April 19.
Gabrielse was allowed to plead to the lesser charge because he successfully completed the terms of his delayed sentence, including sex offender counseling.
