A plea bargain has been reached in the case of a Central Texas man accused of sexually assaulting a teenager he met on the social networking website Myspace.com.

APD

Pete I. Solis

The felony charge against Pete Solis was reduced after pleading guilty Friday to injury to a child.

Solis will spend 90 days in jail and will avoid the requirement to register as a sex offender.

Police say the assault happened in May 2006. At the time, Solis was 19 when he met a 14-year-old Bowie High School student on Myspace.com.

The girl's mother sued Myspace.com, and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott later called on Myspace.com to provide better security.
