Columbus Dispatch: Popular high-school music teacher charged with having sex with students (Mar 13 2013) A teacher credited with turning around a high-school band program is expected in Logan County Common Pleas Court today to answer charges that he had sex with students.

A Logan County grand jury indicted him yesterday. He was arrested yesterday afternoon and was being held in the county jail.
Or maybe they're not because he's, I don't know, innocent. Maybe you should read about false allegations being raised against teachers and how they're on the rise in England, Canada, and the United States.
Sentenced to 7.5 years. Apologized to victims and the court. Prosecutor asked for the maximum permissible sentence which was 39 years. This person will never be able to be employed as a teacher again and must register as a sex offender every 90 days after his release from prison. All-in-all, the prison term handed down is a slap on the wrist.
It really amazes me how someone can do something that is so self destructed to themselves and the victims while doing these heinous crimes. His life and finances are ruined not to mention the psychological trauma on the victims. It baffles me.
