Michael Burks

Michael Burks, 29, of Whitehouse, who has worked as a Bishop T.K. Gorman Catholic School girls' basketball coach, was arrested Friday on a charge of sexual assault of a child, according to jail records.

The allegation against Burks relates to an alleged relationship with a non-Gorman student, according to information from Gorman.

Smith County Sheriff's Lt. Larry Wiginton said Burks turned himself in to authorities Friday on the charge and was placed in custody. The veteran officer said Burks and the girl had an ongoing relationship, and it was not a case of a predator and an unwilling victim. "It was a consensual relationship with a lot of text messaging, a lot of conversations and they met in a couple of different places, including Whitehouse. We are still investigating at this time," he said. Wiginton said that, although the victim was a "willing participant" in the relationship even though it was against the law.

Sandra BorregoA 41-year-old dance instructor was indicted Thursday on charges that she repeatedly sexually assaulted one of her students.

Sandra Borrego was indicted on 22 counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, according to court records.

She is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy who took classes at Most Precious Blood Catholic School in late 2006, police said.

The boy said he had sexual contact with Borrego on about 20 to 30 occasions behind a curtain in the school's cafeteria and at her house, according to an arrest affidavit. A district judge in October 2007 ruled police could collect DNA samples from Borrego and her daughter, who was 6 months old at the time, to determine who fathered the child. Borrego, who was released from the Nueces County Jail on $25,000 bond that same month, rented space and taught folkloric dance on church property for several years, according to Diocese of Corpus Christi officials.

Christopher Evans, 26, was a teacher at New Heights Christian Academy. He admitted in court that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl while he was her teacher. Evans entered a plea to avoid prison.

In return for the plea, Evans received an eight-year adjudicated sentence. He pled guilty to two counts of sexual assault of a child. But, Judge Vanessa Velasquez wanted more. "I think it's only right, based on what was done, and the fact that the state's given you a break that you apologize to this woman, this young lady, for what you’ve done," the judge said. Evans responded in a low voice. "I didn’t hear you," the judge said. He tried again, but still did not satisfy Velasquez. "Were you somebody that was supposed to be trusted? Wasn't she a student? Didn't you take advantage of her? Well then, I think you ought to say a heck of a lot more than, 'I'm sorry. I apologize.' Turn around and apologize appropriately for what you've done," she said.

Ryan Ferguson
08-13-08

Former Shepherd High School baseball coach Ryan Ferguson pled guilty to the charge of improper relationship between educator and student on August 11. Ferguson, 33, was indicted in February of this year after sending a text message that alluded to a possible sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student identified in court documents only as A.S.

The message was written while Ferguson’s wife was out and advised A.S. that she should have come over and “jumped in the shower” with him. “There was no proof of a sexual relationship,” said San Jacinto County Criminal District Attorney Bill Burnett.

Burnett also said that since the girl was 17 there was nothing criminal about an older man sending text messages to her. The criminal act came because of the fact that it was a teacher sending the text messages.

In exchange for Ferguson’s pleading guilty to improper relationship between educator and student, which is a second degree felony, the District Attorney’s office agreed that Ferguson will receive five years deferred adjudication.

A teacher was indicted last week for sexual assault of a child and an improper relationship between a teacher and a student.

Nancy Torres, a former teacher’s aide at Wakeland High School, is accused of being involved in a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old FISD student in 2006. The relationship began when he was a student at Staley Middle School. Police do not believe he was a student of Torres’.

Torres was arrested and charged with two second-degree felonies in November 2006, but the indictment did not happen until last week because the victim’s family moved out of state and lost contact with the Frisco Police Department.

FISD officials became aware of the situation in November 2006 after receiving a phone call from a parent. Torres was fired that same month.
