Imoh, a suspended Virginia Tech running back, formally plead no contest to contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and Circuit Judge Ray Grubbs sentenced him to a $100 fine and 24 hours of community service. Imoh vocalized his "no contest" plea for the judge and then explained that he was not admitting any guilt when asked if he agreed that the commonwealth's evidence would be enough to convict him. It was the same plea agreement accepted last week by receiver Brenden Hill and on Monday by quarterback Marcus Vick.

The saga started Jan.27, when a 14-year-old girl and her two 15-year-old friends went to the Blacksburg apartment shared by Vick and Hill for a late-night party that one of them said involved liquor, stripping and sex.

All three players were convicted May 20 of three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in Montgomery County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Only one of the three victims testified, saying the athletes allowed the teens, all students at Christiansburg Middle School at the time, to drink rum and vodka and encouraged them to dance, strip and kiss each other. Then, she testified, Vick had sex with one of the girls while Imoh and Hill had sex with the other.

Defense attorneys for all three players appealed the cases to circuit court, asking for jury trials to clear their clients' names. One by one, each player reconsidered that request and agreed to plead no contest, a move that avoided possible jail time.

Despite admissions about the night made to Blacksburg police in January, the players have maintained their innocence. Defense attorneys, meanwhile, have said two of the teenagers now say the players didn't give them alcohol and didn't have sex with anyone.

Imoh wanted to go forward with a jury trial planned today and Friday, but defense attorney Christopher Tuck said he recommended taking the plea deal because of a ruling handed down by Grubbs on Monday. That ruling said Imoh could not defend himself by saying he thought the girls were Radford University students and could not tell jurors about anything else the girls had done before or after the party.

"It severely limited the defense and prevented us from showing that these young ladies lied to these young men about their age, put on make up and clothing to try to look older and also prevented my client from testifying what he thought their ages were," Tuck said.

Commonwealth's Attorney Joey Showalter does not comment on cases.
