A former Purdue linebacker has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for a 2006 attack on an Illinois woman.

Kyle Darnell Williams of Bolingbrook, Illinois, pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempted aggravated criminal sexual assault and agreed to the 10-year sentence, which DuPage Judge Michael Burke approved.

Last year in a separate case, Williams was ordered to spend 37 years in prison for attacking two women on the Purdue campus in West Lafayette, Indiana, in 2005.

The 21-year-old Williams is in custody at the DuPage County Jail and will remain there until he is transferred to a prison in Indiana, where he will first serve time for the 2005 crime.

Prosecutors say Williams followed a woman to her apartment's garage in Lisle, Illinois, in February 2006. They say he shoved her to the ground and punched and choked her before she escaped.
