Hawley, MINNESOTA

Oct 30, 2007 - Gregory Nelson, 44, a high school wrestling coach, was sentenced to 90 days in jail for sending lewd text messages to a female high school student and discussing inappropriate topics with her.

Nelson earlier pleaded guilty to one count of misconduct of a public official and one count of making obscene or harassing phone calls. Other charges were dismissed as part of a plea bargain.

Nelson told the judge what he did was "stupid and irreponsible."

“It was more than stupid and irresponsible, it was criminal,” [Judge Galen] Vaa replied, adding the court found the behavior outlined in court papers “extremely concerning.”
