Goscinski was indicted in August based his actions on April 10 at school.
He provided the brownies to at least three students and one teacher, who was unaware what it contained until he was told by another student, according to a press release issued by Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell after the hearing.
“School officials reviewed security video showing Goschinski repeatedly meeting with students at his locker during the day and giving them something to eat,” according to the release.
During the plea hearing in Warren County Common Pleas Court, Judge Robert Peeler ordered an investigation to help him decide how to sentence Goschinski.
In exchange for the pleas, prosecutors agreed to dismiss more serious charges of corrupting another with drugs and trafficking in hashish.
Goschinski, who graduated last year from Springboro High School, faces up to 12 months in prison and a fine of as much as $2,500, as well as a driver’s license suspension for the felony charge. He also faces jail and fines on the misdemeanor charges.
Through the plea bargain, he avoids a longer prison sentence and larger fines.
The plea was the result of an agreement between Fornshell and lawyer John Smith, in consultation with the parents and victims, court officials said.
Goschinski remains free, although subject to drug testing.
