WINTER SPRINGS (CBSMiami/AP) — A central Florida high school football player, charged with gang raping a fellow student with four others, has pleaded guilty to sexual battery.

One of five high school football players charged with gang raping a fellow student near their central Florida high school

State Attorney Phil Archer said in a news release Monday that the Winter Springs High School Student pleaded guilty to sexual battery by multiple perpetrators.

The student was one of five football players charged with the attack. He was charged as a juvenile, along with two others.

The two other students were charged as adults.

The Associated Press generally does not identify juveniles charged with crimes.

After entering his plea, the student was sentenced to probation.

The 16-year-old student says she was raped in a patch of woods near the school in November.

Investigators say she captured part of the encounter on her iPod.
