COLFAX — Washington State reserve running back Kevin McCall was sentenced to 45 days in jail after pleading guilty to fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation.

McCall, 19, was arrested in March on a charge of third-degree rape stemming from an alleged sexual assault in a campus dormitory. McCall last week agreed to plead to the lesser charge.

At a sentencing hearing Monday morning, Whitman County Superior Court Judge David Frazier ordered McCall to serve 44 days with credit for a day already spent in the Whitman County Jail. That sentence could be reduced to one month with good behavior.

McCall also will spend two years on probation and has agreed to a permanent restraining order and to pay compensation for the victim's counseling.

"This is an unfortunate situation for both Kevin and the young woman involved," WSU coach Bill Doba said in a statement yesterday. "When Kevin has finished serving his sentence, I will speak with him and make a decision regarding his status with the Cougar football team."
