According to his Sports Illustrated interview a couple of months ago, the counseling was part of his sentencing guidelines. Additionally, his niece would have had to testify at any trial... So it is believable that someone would plead guilty to spare more family angst, would not be the first time that has happened either...
Also it was apparently an error on the local PD that allowed his record to be accidentally unsealed.
That said most everyone deserves a second chance, worse people have gotten second chances, why not a college kid that can give back?
