I'm a bit confused by that how can someone plead guilty in different terms to the charge? Was it a bargaining chip to get reduced sentence - alternative being case thrown out for wrong charges brought? Bizarre then again the Law's an ass

Horrific, when you are pleaing out to just the sexual assault charge it must have been bad.
Horrible stuff.

It happens a lot in court. If his basis of plea was accepted it may be that his basis won't significantly affect the sentence outcome, it could also be accepted if it was at the lower end of this type of offence as the trial cost would be high.
Sexual assault is wide ranging so not enough details known to really comment on the rights/wrongs in this particular case regarding his basis of plea ring accepted by the CPS

He's always been a bit beasty going by a few accounts.

I can't see how he'll avoid a prison sentence for admitting sexually assaulting someone while they were asleep.
That's an extremely serious offence.

Welt of a man, Hibs paid his wages whilst he was out injured for months and he thanked us by pissing off to the great unwashed in the west.

That should be at least a 5 year prison sentence.

Reading the story, it appears that the complainant has been the one to accept his lesser plea, the 'bonus' being that she gets to avoid going to trial and having to spell out in detail what happened to her in front of a courtroom of strangers, and Killen himself. Presumably she's decided that his at least taking partial responsibility is better than going through that and him maybe still being acquitted at trial.
Jail seems unlikely IMO if the offending is at the lower end of the spectrum (details are unclear though) as it's presumably his first offence of this nature, he's pled guilty, and prison really is the last resort in a long list of sentencing options.
Someone in this thread seems to suggest this was rape, but I don't see that in the story at all?
