FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) A former social studies teacher at a Loveland middle school is being ordered to spend one year behind bars and 10 years on probation for sexually assaulting an underage girl.
Larimer County District Judge James Hiatt handed down the sentence Tuesday to 42-year-old Michael Gaylor.
The former Walt Clark Middle School teacher apologized in court, saying he took advantage of his position without any regard for the girl. He said he took the victim's innocence, and called his former students victims, saying they'll "forever question their relationships with their teachers."
Gaylor had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual assault and attempted sexual exploitation of a child.
He will have to pay restitution and cover the costs of counseling for the victim and her family.

I don’t buy the line of reasoning. Michael Medved tries to spout it even worse saying that even same sex male-male and female-female abuse by teachers is better than male-teacher with female-student and his justification is that the girl can get pregnant.
Frankly, no. In fact, since low self-esteem (due to then-undiagnosed and -untreatable depression) was my major problem at the time, it probably would have served as a major benefit to me... provided no pregnancy and/or VD was involved, and that no one ever found out.
That being said: it would have been wrong, and I'm glad it never happened. I have enough to answer for before the Almighty as it is.
You don't know this about me, but the dull, bougeois, Catholic family man you now know as B-Chan did not exist in any real sense prior to my religious reawakening and the beginning of my psychiatric treatment in the late 1990s. I had severe psychological and emotional problems in my younger years, and I did a lot of things then of which I am now ashamed. Thankfully, having sexual relations with a teacher was not among them.
Also please note that the teacher in question was never anything less than the very model of propriety and professionalism when in our presence. She was a sober, polite, and rather prim young woman who took her job seriously. I doubt she would have found her status as a ninth-grade boys' sex object to be amusing.
LOL! I’m a big Steely Dan fan!
There’s a Freeper who has a pretty good collection, too. I forget his name. Anyone?
