In exchange for a guilty plea for having sex with underage girls, prosecutors have dropped an assault charge against a Helena man accused of threatening to shoot someone for posting online spoilers to a "Star Wars" movie.
Arthur Charles Roy, who was 18 at the time of the sex crimes, pleaded guilty to two amended charges of criminal endangerment Wednesday. He was originally facing three counts of sexual intercourse without consent.
Roy admitted to having unprotected sex with the teens. He was arrested on the sex charges in October and January.
"I knew there was a substantial risk that she could suffer serious emotional injury," Roy wrote in court documents. "I knew that she could become pregnant and therefore there was a substantial risk of serious injury or death to her, or that she could have suffered serious emotional injury."
The dropped charge of assault with a weapon stemmed from a December incident in which Roy was accused of threatening to shoot someone for sharing information about a subplot in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." Roy was accused sending the person a picture of himself with a gun, which turned out to be a BB gun, and implying the firearm had a "hair trigger."
