Can we now drop the BS that the suicide was unrelated? I certainly don't think this situation would have helped his mental state. He might not have been directly involved, but the cver-up wasn't a good thing either.

Just heard on the radio that he has agreed to plead guilty and accept a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.

Actually, the sentence and jail time is not the thing he should regret. First off, he violated the trust young people may have had in him, and hurt a lot of people. Just looking at the consequences for him the bigger question than time served is what does he do when he is out? He's given himself a life sentence on the sex offenders list, has very little chance of returning to what he was pretty good at doing. In this case once there was a decision to charge and prosecute, given the way the law is written he had not much defense possible.
Besides that, once this was public, even if he was not charged, or escaped with some kind of reduced charge, or even acquitted, that kind of public attention punished his family forever, and ruined his reputation.
It's a pretty harsh law and you could argue about that, I suppose. Everybody makes mistakes and is probably guilty of some shameful act, and we are supposed to forgive the sinner, but I don't see Kyle getting much sympathy for this mistake any way you look at it.

Muncie paper said 10-14 years. Keeping that sentence in mind, it goes to show you how sick pedifiles are. Facing public humiliation, a lifetime on a defiled list, long prison sentences, and the lowest ''form of life'' among the prison population they continue to commit their crimes. Most do not get better, from what I have read.

Facing public humiliation, a lifetime on a defiled list, long prison sentences, and the lowest ''form of life'' among the prison population they continue to commit their crimes. Most do not get better, from what I have read. The really sick extreme cases, adult predators who are actually involved in trafficking child porn, abusing young children, recording selling the photos and so on are acting just as insidiously evilly as you characterize it. And you are right that treatment or punishment, even drug castration doesn't have much of an effect. Of course some of it is just greedy criminal activity, not actually motivated by sex, just sociopath behavior. No excuse for anyone, but at least some of the offenders like Kyle maybe should not be grouped together with that first criminal element by the law. Many of these law breakers are not involved in "business" as buyer or seller, probably don't even really know the penalty, some may not even know texting pictures and just downloading and viewing the porn on the web are federal crimes. The motivation may or may not be serious deviancy, or untreatable. Again, no excuse, especially for a teacher, but this law is quite broad and there is a fair chance that a large number of young adult males who aren't very dangerous to society at all, but have broken the law technically, are not what we would normally call a pedophile. The reckless and irresponsible but relatively innocent young boys and young girls who are breaking this law are some other category of social problem, not one not dealt with very well by criminal law. The idea that the law deters either group may be questionable, but for these young adult "criminals" sexting are deterred is dubious, and it is a problem for police and prosecutors who have to decide whether to prosecute under a harsh sentencing requirement and put people not likely to be very dangerous in the prison population.

As a 36 year vet of HS teaching, I am glad he will be serving time. He has ruined a lot of lives. The trust of an adult with students should be absolute. This POS is still another educator who has failed on every level of trust in the profession. I hope hell is comfortable for him.

To put the final nail in this awful story, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison. It was revealed during sentencing that he admitted to "inappropriate relationships" with three additional students. Barf.

I also read in one article where he had 40+ people who sent letters in support of Cox. I do not know how anyone could write a letter of support for the guy.

I'm sure they do not but the fact the judge received forty letters showing some kind of support surprises me

How somebody can slip this far, how they can behave this way is not just a surprise to everyone, but how it is consistent with or even possible in light of the rest of his life is a real shock. Some of the support is no doubt "to love the sinner, not the sin," but much of it has to be support for his family, and some kind of trust that he is not ruined for life.

I know his ties and whoever he is now is now is not the same person who went to blue river or played for a year at BSU or maybe it is. Unless its a family member who would/should give support I don't see how anyone else could. Like I said just seems weird to me not really worth debating

I agree it's odd, and completely inappropriate for a teacher or any adult , but it isn't pedophilia. It's also likely if it were a female teacher doing the same with male students there would be no jail time involved and possibly no charges filed. This kind of garbage goes on in High Schools all the time and Park Tudor's reaction is more typical than not.

If it was your daughter your attitude would be different.
