A 17-year-old Suffolk County high school student will plead guilty to charges stemming from a series of arson fires that ELF, the Earth Liberation Front, may take responsibility for. The youth is the son of a New York City police sergeant and agreed to cooperate with authorities investigating ELF. The court records from the case have been sealed, but ABCNEWS affilliate WABC claims three other suspects were in negotiations for plea bargains. The youth is said to have agreed to be charged as an adult, which could get him up to 20 years in prison, according to Long Island newspaper Newsday Sunday, who cites unnamed sources. Newsday reported, however, that the agreement avoided possible charges for additional crimes, such as bomb-making, and could lead to a sentence without jail time.
