Keller, 41, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, was sentenced to three years of probation, as well as six months of house arrest and 360 hours of community service. Federal prosecutors originally wanted him to be sentenced to 10 months in prison. However, due to the fact that he cooperated with the investigation, expressed remorse for his actions and turned himself into the hands of law enforcement officers, they convinced the judge to impose a significantly lighter sentence.
After the sentencing, Judge Richard Leon expressed hope that Keller would speak to the youth about “how he learned from his mistakes.” “I hope you succeed,” said the judge. “Thank you, your honor, I will not fail you,” Keller replied.
