Teacher Guilty Of Sex With Student Sentenced

(WCCO) A former Sleepy Eye teacher who pleaded guilty to felony sexual assault involving a 16-year-old student was sentenced Tuesday.

Calvin Collum must spend 180 days in jail, register as a sex offender and pay a $1500 fine.

The judge also said he must provide a DNA sample to the Department of Corrections, get a psycho-sexual evaluation, must not take drugs or alcohol and agree to random testing.

Collum reached a plea deal on Sept. 30.

Police said they began investigating Collum's relationship with the girl after some teachers and classmates noticed the two were spending a lot of time together.

In March, the school district voted not to renew Collum's contract as an English teacher.

He is not allowed to have contact with the victim or other minors and will also be on probation for 15 years.
