Former Washington Local Schools superintendent and board member Patrick Hickey has plead guilty to one count of criminal sexual conduct against a minor. Hickey plead guilty Wednesday in Lenawee County Circuit Court to the last of four counts. The first three counts against him were dismissed. 

His plea deal required him to acknowledge in court to groping a 15-year-old-girl and to register as a sex offender. Hickey is set to be sentenced on June 21st at 8:15 a.m. He faces a maximum sentence of two years in prison.

A police report from 2016 says a woman told investigators she had sex with Hickey during the late 1980s when she was 14 and he was a teacher in Addison, Michigan. Authorities say she didn’t want to pursue charges, but they reopened the investigation after she changed her mind.
