A Bethlehem teen has accepted a plea deal in connection with the case of a brutal attack on a Lehigh University student.


Police said Bryan Sanchez-Osorio attacked a Lehigh University student in July 2014 after breaking into her off-campus apartment through a window and assaulting the woman inside her bedroom, where he allegedly tried to rape her and choked her until she turned blue.


Osorio's family said the teen has severe mental health issues and was flown to the United States from Puerto Rico to undergo treatment and be enrolled in high school. He had barely moved in with his older sister in Bethlehem when the incident occurred in the 400 block of Carlton Street in Bethlehem on July 15.


Osorio, 17, faced a slew of charges.


On Monday, Osorio accepted a plea agreement where he pleaded guilty to burglary, attempted burglary, attempted rape and aggravated assault.


In turn, prosecutors agreed to drop charges of unlawful restraint, escape and criminal trespass.


Northampton County Judge Emil Giordano said this was the "worst case he has seen in all his years on the bench."


Osorio faces up to 80 years in prison.
