Case Details

During 2004 and 2005, teacher Charles Andrews engaged in an inappropriate relationship with 8th-grade female student Jane Doe. Andrews inappropriately touched, kissed, fondled, and rubbed Jane Doe on school premises. He also sent her sexually explicit e-mails and notes. As a result of his conduct, Andrews was charged with first-degree sexual abuse and eventually pled guilty to second-degree sexual abuse. He was sentenced to a twelve-month suspended sentence and twenty-four months unsupervised probation. He also was required to relinquish his teaching at Andrews. A federal judge subsequently entered a three million dollar judgment against Andrews. The judgment consisted of $500,000 in compensatory damages and $2,500,000 in punitive damages.
