GUILTY PLEA and SENTENCING Jan 18, 2008 - Cody pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child, and improper educator-student contact. Cody was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The district attorney said they had consulted with the victims on the sentencing. (Victims, plural?)

(The newspaper should cut and paste better. The victim is no longer an "alleged victim.)
