A former Carmel High School basketball player charged in a sexual assault case will see no jail time. A plea deal means Scott Laskowski will see the charges against him reduced from three counts of misdemeanor criminal recklessness to one charge. He must also testify against three of his former teammates, who still face charges in the case. As part of the deal, he will serve one year probation and perform 40 hours of community service.
A former Carmel High School basketball player accused of attacking a young student is expected to change his plea to guilty when he appears in court Thursday. Scott Laskowski was charged in May with three misdemeanor counts of criminal recklessness. The maximum sentence for each charge would be 180 days in prison, however, most first-time offenders don't end up doing jail time.

A judge will hear arguments this afternoon to put a gag order in place in a high-profile Carmel assault case. Lawyers for

court employees and police. Four members of the team are charged with misdemeanor offenses in the case. Legal analysts say
