TOOELE, Utah (AP) -- Two former Tooele High School baseball players accused of videotaping themselves having sex with a 15-year-old girl have pleaded guilty.
As part of a plea agreement, Matthew Gomez and Shane Leonelli, now both 19, each pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of third-degree felony dealing in material harmful to a minor.
Gomez, Leonelli and four other juvenile players allegedly taped the incident last March at a St. George hotel where the team was staying for a tournament.
Yesterday, the judge sentenced both men to 14 days in jail beginning today and a year of probation.
They were also ordered to write a letter of apology to the victim and fined 750-dollars each.
