He also pleaded guilty to a similar charge against a minor in 2017, according to local Minnesota media reported and reported by the AFP news agency.
The former police officer, sentenced in June by a state judge to 22 1/2 years in prison for Floyd’s death, now faces a sentence of 20 to 25 years in the federal rights violation case.
This penalty could be paid simultaneously with the sentence he is already serving for murder.
His guilty plea ensures that the 45-year-old, who served in the Minneapolis police, will spend several years in prison, regardless of the outcome of his appeal on the murder charges.
Chauvin initially pleaded not guilty to the federal charges, but the judge warned him that if he did not plead guilty, he could face a life sentence, according to local television WCCO-TV.
