The L.A. Times reports:

Director John McTiernan pleaded guilty today to charges that he lied to the FBI in the unfolding federal investigation of wiretapping and other alleged wrongdoing by Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano.

When he is sentenced on July 31, McTiernan faces five years in prison, three years' probation and a $250,000 fine. He was expected to remain free on a $50,000 bond until sentencing.

In his afternoon appearance, McTiernan pleaded guilty to a single felony count of lying to a federal agent. The famous film director whose credits include "Predator" bowed his head and tapped the lectern as he entered his plea before U.S. District Court Judge Dale S. Fischer.
