Gold Coast halfback Ashley Taylor can avoid an NRL suspension despite being charged with dangerous contact. Taylor was on Monday slugged with a grade one offence for his 67th-minute incident with Wests Tigers second-rower Luke Garner on Sunday. The charge attracts a 100-point penalty, however, Taylor will be free to face South Sydney on Saturday if he takes the early guilty plea. Titans teammate Sam Lisone is in the same position as Taylor after being issued with a grade one dangerous contact charge. Lisone is in hot water for his 15th-minute tackle on Adam Doueihi. The other player charged from matches in round four was Parramatta centre Waqa Blake, a grade-one careless high tackle for his shot on Manly’s Danny Levi. An early guilty plea will result in a $500 fine, which has been reduced to correlate with the pay cut the players have taken for the remainder of the season. The normal figure for a grade one careless high tackle is $1500. Australian Associated Press

A former Massachusetts Institute of Technology basketball player charged with sexually assaulting a woman as she slept in her dorm will avoid prison time.

Samson Donick, of Tiburon, California, was sentenced Tuesday to five years’ probation and 1,000 hours of community service. He was also ordered to undergo sex offender treatment.

Prosecutors said Donick assaulted the woman after he entered her Boston University dorm room looking for someone else.

Prosecutors struck a deal with Donick’s attorneys for him to plead guilty to lesser charges after the victim said it would be too emotionally difficult for her to testify at trial.

The woman said in court that the assault has forever changed her life and urged Donick to “live each day with a little reminder of what you did and make up for it.”
