Jeffrey Parson, 19, of Hopkins, Minn., pleaded guilty to one count of intentionally causing or attempting to cause damage to a protected computer. He had earlier pleaded not guilty.

Federal prosecutors have recommended an 18- to 37-month sentence. Parson had faced a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
