<p>One of the two men accused of kidnapping and raping a woman and then setting her on fire pleaded no contest Wednesday to four charges against him as part of a plea agreement.</p><p>Gregorio Morales, 27, entered the plea in Brown County Circuit Court to being party to first-degree reckless injury, kidnapping and two counts of sexual assault. As part of the deal, a third sexual assault count was dismissed, and an attempted murder charge was reduced to the reckless injury count.</p><p>Sentencing is scheduled June 10.</p><p>Prosecutors said part of the plea agreement requires Morales to give an accurate statement to detectives and to testify against Juan Nieto, 24, the other man charged in the case, when he goes on trial. Nieto was arrested in Georgia.</p><p>The victim has testified she was abducted in August 2003 from the parking lot of a Green Bay nightclub, taken to a rural area where she was repeatedly raped, doused with lighter fluid, set on fire and left to die. She managed to put out the flames and go to a nearby home for help.</p><p>The woman testified she heard her attackers "laugh, get in the truck, turn on their lights and leave." She suffered respiratory failure and second- and third-degree burns to 61 percent of her body.</p><p>Morales was arrested in Dexter, N.M., last July. Nieto was arrested Dec. 6 when FBI agents tracked him to a DeKalb County, Ga., apartment he was sharing with his brother, after the case was featured on the television show "America's Most Wanted."</p><p>The two men were working at a Brown County dairy at the time of the assault and were identified through the woman's description and DNA samples collected by their Wisconsin employer, who saw composite drawings of the suspects, authorities said.</p><p>The victim, surrounded by family and friends in court Wednesday, remained dry-eyed, while a few feet away tears rolled down Morales' cheeks during his court appearance.</p><p>The woman, now 27, left court without comment, but Brown County District Attorney John Zakowski said she was pleased with the plea deal.</p><p>"We wouldn't have entered into any agreement unless it was with her approval," he said.</p><p>"I think she feels this is a good resolution of this case," he added. "It spares her from having to testify and it holds him accountable for everything he did to her."</p><p>Even with the changes in the charges under the plea deal, Morales could face up to 145 years in prison.</p><p>Nieto, 24, faces similar charges and remains in the Brown County Jail awaiting trial.</p><p>Morales' lawyer, Tim Blank, said he felt the plea bargain was fair, since his client was charged as a "party to the crime," requiring only that prosecutors prove he was at the scene and willing and able to participate.</p><p>Morales felt his only option was going to trial, and he didn't want to do that, Blank said.</p>
