(posted: September 26th, 7:15pm) The former Christian Brothers Academy instructor charged with rape strikes a plea deal with prosecutors.

Beth Geisel plead guilty to one of the three counts of rape listed in an indictment against her. She also pled guilty to a DWI arrest from last month, while she was out on bail.

Geisel was facing up to 16 years in jail for the three counts of rape, but in a settlement deal reached Monday morning, her sentence was reduced. Starting this November, she will serve six months in county jail, with ten years probation. Geisel must also register as a sex offender.
