TROY — A Troy man could get up to five years in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 8 for his plea of no contest to felony sexual battery for touching a mentally challenged woman.

Jonathan Sanders, 20, entered the plea to an amended charge in a deal with prosecutors. He initially was charged with rape.

Troy police said that on April 29, he engaged in sexual activity with a Troy woman whose ability to consent or resist was impaired because of a mental or physical condition.

A Miami County Common Pleas judge accepted the plea, found Sanders guilty and remanded him to the county jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.
