SOUTH BEND — Prosecutors say two charges have been dropped against a Mishawaka High School wrestler after evidence showed he wasn't present when a teammate was allegedly sexually assaulted.

The South Bend Tribune reports the teen pleaded guilty Friday in St. Joseph County Probate Court to interfering with reporting a crime, a misdemeanor.

He had been among six members of the 2010 state champion Mishawaka High School wrestling team accused of sexually assaulting a teammate.

The St. Joseph County prosecutor's office said it agreed to dismiss two counts of attempted criminal deviate conduct and battery.

Two of the wrestlers have been found guilty of the juvenile equivalents of attempted criminal deviate conduct and a third was also found guilty of juvenile delinquency. Two others face hearings later this month.
