Does Lay's deferment mean not guilty?

So Patrick McHenry's former staffer, aide, and roomie Michael Aaron Lay took a "deferred prosecution deal."

The deal? Six months unsupervised probation, during which time he must complete 100 hours of community service, $240.50 in court costs and a $250.00 community service fee, for a grand total of $440.50.

If Lay does all that, District Attorney Locke Bell says he will voluntarily dismiss the charges. I don't know what that means as to passing the NC bar, if he never was charged is he not guilty?

Is Patrick and his pimp Jason Deans now going to say that it didn't happen, that this "poor Christian boy" had no choice?
