As the last poster indicates....two sides to every story.

But with teacher pleading guilty, it appears that the side of the story that includes him not doing anything inappropriate is out the window. Kind of sounds like he is admitting responsibility for his inappropriate actions with the guilty plea.

Hey Just Sayin - you don't "give the benefit of the doubt" to someone who pleads guilty. So, your comment makes no sense at all.

There's always two sides of every story. Maybe you people should be giving him the benefit of the doubt.

This is garbage, how can what this creep did not be a felony?!?! This guy should be locked up for a minimum of 25 years. Any teacher/coach or anyone in a position of authority over kids should be viewed in a different light, these kids trusted this man, and what he did is aplorable!!!

I first want to say how bad i feel for the victims, the worst hit im sure are this mans wife and family and if he has children what they are haveing to deal with. But in all honesty these should not be misdemeanor offenses........just the fact he was a teacher and a coach, he was in a position of authority and should have been an example and not a predator. So make an example of the man, finally. Put him away and send the message to other potential predators_____- if u cant control your urges, seek help, please dont mess with children or their future mental health as well as physical well being.
