"In my nearly 40 years of law practice, I've never seen a sweetheart deal like this before," said attorney Vic Feazell, who represents the alleged victim.

On Monday, Jacob Walter Anderson, 23, pleaded "no contest" to a charge of unlawful restraint in exchange for the dismissal of four counts of sexual assault. As part of the plea agreement, Anderson would have charges dropped against him if he satisfies the terms of his probation for three years, according to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. He would not be required to register as a sex offender. Anderson would also be required to pay a $400 fine and receive counseling.

The accuser says Anderson sexually assaulted her at a fraternity party in February 2016. Anderson and the woman were at the party when she was offered a drink that made her feel ill, she says. She claimed that after that, Anderson took her outside for fresh air, then assaulted her.

"This guy violently raped me multiple times, choked me and when I blacked out he dumped me face down on the ground and left me to die," the victim said in a statement Feazell shared with NBC News. The woman was later taken to the hospital by a friend, where staff examined her and notified police.

Anderson, the former Baylor Phi Delta Theta chapter president, was expelled from Baylor following a university investigation.
