Hopkins agreed to plead guilty to the lesser charge in front of Lake County Judge Victoria Rossetti Tuesday in hopes of getting a reduced jail sentence.
Hopkins could be sentenced up to 15 years in prison, and could be forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
Hopkins is due back in court for sentencing Jan. 14.
