NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The man accused of raping a woman at the Bicentennial Mall downtown pleaded guilty Monday in the case.

Ricky Morgan was set to go on trial for raping a woman two years ago.

The victim was walking home when Morgan approached her for a cigarette. That's when he put a knife to her throat and sexually assaulted her.

Morgan will be sentenced next month. He faces up to 30 years in prison.
