    Read Reach For The Wall

    Under a deal reached with prosecutors, Noah Rucker, 40, of Bristow, on Tuesday in Fairfax County Circuit Court entered an Alford plea to one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

    In an Alford plea, a defendant admits there’s enough evidence for a conviction, but doesn’t admit guilt.

    Rucker is expected to be sentenced to six months in prison and is prohibited from coaching swimming and having contact with the woman who filed the complaint under the terms of the deal.
