Elkhart, INIDIANA

Time to update those old 1980s yearbooks.

March 12, 2008 -
Thomas Thornburg, 52, was arrested last month in Springfield, Illinois, for trying to solicit sex from a 12-year-old boy. The boy turned out to be a federal agent. He is charged with indecent solicitation of a child under the age of 13.

Thornburg was arrested for allegedly molesting at least two teens while teaching at Woodland Elementary School near Elkhart, Ind., in the 1980s. He was convicted in 1986 and was sentenced to five years in prison for child molestation. The allegations involved boys who were 13 and 14 years old. (He served 3 and a half years.)

At the time of his arrest last month, Thornburg worked as a manager of the McDonald’s in Springfield.

TT-Working at a McDonalds is a good job if you want to be around teenage boys.

SENTENCED October 28 - Thornburg was sentenced to 19 1/2 years in federal prison for solicitation and possession of child pornography.
