El Cerrito: Teen rape suspect agrees to six-year prison term

RICHMOND — A teen who was charged with sexually assaulting a stranger on an El Cerrito trail has agreed to serve a six-year prison term as part of a plea deal, court records show.

Malachi Attaway, 18, pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and false imprisonment, and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 11, records show. Prosecutors dropped a rape charge against him as part of the deal, authorities said.

Attaway must register as a sex offender for at least 10 years and stay away from the victim, authorities said.
