A middle school teacher has pleaded guilty to a student's sexual assault, reports say.
Andre Thomas, 32, raped a 13-year-old girl in a classroom at Spring ISD's Roberson Middle School in August 2011, according to KTRK-Channel 13 and KPRC-Channel 2.
The plea deal reportedly gives him 180 days in jail and 10 years probation. There's also a $1,000 fine, KPRC says.
Cellphone records showing suspicious text messages between Thomas and another student led to the rape investigation, KPRC says.
"She was interviewed as another child that might have known about the other child's cellphone, and, when she was interviewed, she disclosed about the sexual abuse," prosecutor Denise Oncken told KPRC.
Thomas reportedly taught sixth- and seventh-grade industrial technology classes.  http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Spring-ISD-teacher-pleads-guilty-to-raping-student-3894260.php
6 months in jail for raping a 13 year old middle school student?
What would he get if he murdered the kid?  A year in jail?
