Former Waunakee and Madison La Follette High School teaching assistant Anthony Hirsch entered a no contest plea and was found guilty Thursday of a charge of repeated sexual assault of a child.
Dane County Circuit Court Judge David Flanagan found Hirsch guilty based on the change in pleas -- Hirsch had earlier pled not guilty -- and ordered a pre-sentence investigation by the Department of Corrections. As part of a plea bargain, two counts of possession of child pornography were dismissed but can be taken into consideration by the judge when he sentences Hirsch at a later date.Hirsch was working as a teaching assistant in special education at the Waunakee School district when he was put on unpaid leave after a criminal investigation first disclosed that he had been viewing child pornography on the Internet. The investigation later led to the charge of repeated sexual assault of a child after Hirsch confessed to having an affair with a teenage girl while he was working at La Follette.

I guess when you get a good attorney, you can get a light sentence.
A plea agreement has been reached in the case of a teacher accused of raping a former student.
Elizabeth Munn, an eighth grade social studies teacher at Broadalbin-Perth Middle School, was charged with having sex with a 15-year-old boy back in September.
Under the plea deal, Munn will spend six months in the Fulton County Jail and will surrender her teaching license. She'll also resign from the school and register as a level one sex offender.The Fulton County DA pursued the rape charge because the 15-year-old was too young to consent, even though the sex was voluntary.

Janmattie Singh

Shocking crime has come to light involving a Queens high school teacher. The 22-year-old is under arrest, accused of having sex with three teenagers, one of them a former student.
However, the teacher is claiming she's the victim. Janmattie Singh started teaching just last year. Her students were shocked when they found out she'd been arrested.
"I'm very, very surprised," Carlotta Mohamed said. "I would never expect something like that from Mrs. Singh. I mean, I had her. I was her student. She was really so friendly. It's just a shock. I can't believe it."
Back in January Singh allegedly contacted one of her former students to have sex. He was 18 years old, and told her he couldn't get away because he was with his two cousins, one of them 15. Investigators say she met with the three boys at their home in Brooklyn and had sex with them.
A month later investigators say Singh had another sexual encounter with the 18-year-olds at her apartment near the school.

John Colazzi
05-28-08
60-year-old John Colazzi was arraigned on a sealed indicted this morning before Supreme Court Justice John Michalski, charged with sexual abuse in the rirst degree and endangering the welfare of a child.
It is alledged that Colazzi fondled a four year-old boy in the lavatory at School 67, the Discovery School.
The case led to the dismissal of the district's human resource director, who was accused by Superintendent James Williams of mishandling the allegations of abuse brought forth months ago by a teacher, who said she witnssed the aide abusing the child. The teacher allegedly notified the district, but law enforcement was not called in for several months.
Buffalo School Board Member Ralph Hernandez, who asked the State ethics Committee to examine why this case was not turned over to District Attorney Frank Clark until March, says the scary part is this case could have been swept under the rug. "We don't know where the verdict will go, but if they must have some evidence. I think we did the right thing here, and hopefully it will be behind us."

James D. Van Valkinburgh, the former Sacred Heart Academy teacher who pleaded guilty to statutory rape involving one of his students, today was ordered to serve a three- to nine-year prison term.
Of course, Van Valkinburgh apologized for his actions and said he was sorry for the "pain and suffering" he caused both his victim's family and his own. Yeah right!
"I never imagined that I would be here facing what I face," he told the judge. Are you an idiot, or did you think you would just not be caught? Maybe he'll be able to find someone else to rape in prison.

Maria Zurita was sentenced a former McQuade School teacher to three months in jail for having sex with one of her students The maximum allowed would have been 6 months.
Because she pleaded guilty to statutory rape shw will have to register as a sex offender and submit to the supervision of a probation officer for 10 years. She'll never be able to teach again because she pleaded guilty to a felony. Thank God for that.
Let's see if a few months in jail will help her remember not to have sex with underage kids.

Allen Julier
05-02-08
A former Scarsdale High School teacher was sentenced today to more than four years in prison for illegally possessing child pornography.
Allen Julier, 55, of Crafts Road, Carmel, pleaded guilty Feb. 1 to possessing the pornography that he downloaded from pay Web sites on his home computer. Investigators found more than 100 images and 500 videos of child pornography on the computer, Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna M. Skotko said today in U.S. District Court in White Plains.
Julier's lawyer, Victor Grossman, had asked Judge Kenneth M. Karas to sentence Julier to probation rather than prison, citing more than 25 letters of support, Julier's unblemished 27-year teaching career, and psychological factors that led to behavior he said was "situational." Julier read a statement to the court, apologizing for his crime, saying the dissolution of his marriage, the failure of a subsequent relationship, and the deteriorating health of his elderly mother led him to seek an "escape" from his problems.
