Authorities say 36-year-old Chamell Hampton on Friday pleaded guilty to second-degree rape, a felony.

Prosecutors say by pleading guilty, Hampton admitted he had sex with the woman who could not consent because she was "physically helpless."

According to the Broome County District Attorney's Office, Hampton is to serve four years in state prison as part of a plea deal. The prison term is to be followed by three years of supervision.

Hampton is scheduled to be formally sentenced on December 13.
