Subject: Patterson

SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle SuperSonics forward Ruben Patterson was sentenced Tuesday to a year in jail with all but 15 days suspended as he entered a modified plea to an attempted rape charge.

Patterson wept as he entered an Alford plea, under which he did not admit guilt but agreed a jury might convict him.

Patterson was accused of attempting to rape the family's nanny in September at the family home in suburban Bellevue.

The maximum punishment for attempted third-degree rape, a gross misdemeanor, is one year in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Patterson also was placed on two years probation by King County Superior Court Judge Brian Gain.

Patterson told the court he did not participate in criminal activity but acknowledged he cheated on his wife.

"I would like to apologize to anyone I have hurt: including my wife, my family, my team and my fans," he told the courtroom.
