free agent Kevin Porter Jr. was back in a Manhattan court on Monday, where prosecutors offered him a plea deal that could help him avoid jail time after being arrested in September on allegations that he hit and strangled his girlfriend. 'At today’s appearance, The People made the following offer on the record: if he pleads guilty to Assault in the Third Degree (a misdemeanor) and completes Abusive Partner Intervention Programming (APIP) or equivalent programming, and abides by the temporary order of protection, he would be able to re-plead to Harassment in the Second Degree (a violation), with a final limited order of protection,' read the statement provided to DailyMail.com by the DA's office. Harassment in the second degree is punishable in New York State by up to 15 days in jail, but often results in a 'times served' sentence. A DA's office spokeswoman has confirmed that Porter can avoid jail by accepting the plea deal and following the terms of the agreement.
