09-15-08
A former Johnson County teacher has been sentenced to more than four years for using a computer to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity.
David Hazlett, 58, of Olathe, pleaded guilty in federal court in February to one count of using a computer to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity.
In his plea, Hazlett admitted that on Jan. 20, 2003, he chatted with two minor girls via web cam. He asked them to undress and show themselves to the camera, which they did. He saved the web cam images to the hard drive of his computer.
During that incident, he was posing as a boy named Ely. The crime was discovered in July 2007 when an apartment manager called the Johnson County Sheriff's Department to report that child pornography had been found on the computer in Hazlett's apartment. Hazlett had left the computer and other personal items behind when was evicted.

Coen C. Potts

Former Auburn-Washburn USD 437 elementary art teacher Coen Potts this afternoon was sentenced to more than seven years in jail for possessing thousands of images of child pornography.
U.S. District Court Judge Julie Robinson trimmed a year off the recommended sentenced agreed to by Potts’ defense attorney and prosecutors as part of a plea deal. In June, Potts pled guilty to one count of receiving child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography.
Robinson said that Potts showed remorse and a desire to change. But the judge said she remained troubled that he had worked so closely with young children, that he had possessed marijuana on school grounds and that he was found with adult and child pornography as well as marijuana while awaiting trial.
Significant jail time, Robinson said, was required. She said she couldn’t forget about the children victimized in the photos and videos even if Potts hadn’t committed those acts. Consumers of child pornography, she said, help create a demand for such harmful actions.

Tabitha Adams
05-30-08
 A former Dodge City teacher has been sentenced to a "hard 25" life sentence for taking indecent liberties with an 8-year-old girl. District Judge Van Hampton sentenced Tabatha Adams, 36, Thursday to life in prison without possibility of parole for 25 years, said Ford County Assistant County Attorney David Belling.
Adams pleaded guilty in March to one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. She was arrested in December after someone found explicit digital pictures of Adams and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Zachary Noble, of Falls City, Neb., and turned them over to the police.
Adams was a second-grade teacher at Sacred Heart Catholic School at the time. The victim was a student at the school, but not 1 of Adams' students. Adams later resigned.
She also faces charges in Nebraska, where the crimes are alleged to have occurred.
