The person says Gibson will be charged with battery over a January 2010 dispute with /*Oksana Grigorieva*/. Prosecutors have not yet announced a decision on whether to charge Grigorieva with extortion, which Gibson has been seeking.
The actor-director's attorney, Blair Berk, said /*Mel Gibson*/ sought the plea agreement after prioritizing the interests of his children, including an infant daughter with Grigorieva.
The story was first reported by TMZ.
