PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING: August 16 - A probable cause hearing is underway.
Sanger smiled and nodded at his accuser as she took the stand, after which she broke down in sobs.Sept 11 - A judge has determined that there is enough evidence presented to meet the threshold of probable cause a crime may have occurred. Sanger will face felony charges.
The girl said Sanger was her science teacher and her adviser during the past school year, her freshman year. She said she was in class June 12 when Sanger called her to the front of the room to look over a test.
She said the 40-year-old teacher positioned himself so that she was standing between his legs. She was wearing a knee-length skirt.
"I noticed while he was writing answers on the test, he would glance down at something," the girl said under questioning by Kent County Assistant Prosecutor Helen Brinkman. "So I looked down and saw him holding the camera under my skirt."
When questioned by Sanger's attorney, Daniel Watkins, the girl said she was not upset by the grades she received from Sanger and she said that as many as seven people were standing around the area where she claims the crime occurred.
The teen's friend, 16-year-old Jenna Maleport, said she was in the classroom at the time and looking over Sanger's shoulder, she saw a picture of her friend's undergarments on the camera's display screen.
June 27, 2008 - A judge has allowed the images found on a digiztal data card found in Sanger's computer bag to be used in his upcoming trial. Three of the images were, apparently, taken in a classroom. The trial is scheduled for August 4.

Aug 9 - Jury finds former Byron Center teacher guilty of taking picture under student's skirt
GUILTY VERDICT August 10, 2008 - A Kent County jury on Friday found Steven Sanger guilty of attempting to capture or distribute an image of an unclothed person. He will be sentenced Sept. 30.
SENTENCED October 7 - Sanger was sentenced to six months in jail after getting a 15-minute tongue-lashing from a Kent County Circuit Court judge Judge Paul Sullivan.
Even though the county probation department suggested no jail time, Sullivan said after sitting through the entire trial held in August, he is convinced the jury made the right decision. Capturing images of an unclothed person is a potential five-year felony and Sanger's sentencing guidelines called for between zero and six months in jail."The real damage to the victim in this case was, in my opinion, your maintaining of your innocence," Sullivan told Sanger. "I've got to believe that some of the tears she shed up here were not because of the act but because of the consequences of the act."
Sullivan said he recognizes that Sanger and his family have suffered, but he said it is suffering caused by Sanger's acts.
Sanger's attorney said he had lost his job, his home, his standing in the community and now works for a tool-and-die shop.
He will have to serve 30 months probation following his release.
