Manning is allowed to make his own sentencing recommendation to the court.
On Feb. 27, 2016, the girl’s stepfather reported to authorities that she had sex with an adult.
Manning was arrested in February 2016 after having met the victim on the instant messaging app Kik. Manning spent about four months in jail. He was released after posting $100,000 bail.
