FARMINGTON — A former Northridge High School drama teacher who admitted to having a sexual relationship with a student was sentenced to prison Friday.
Jeremy Page Flygare, 33, of Sunset, was ordered to serve two concurrent terms of one to 15 years in prison for two counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony, by 2nd District Judge Thomas Kay. The judge also ordered that the man pay $600 in restitution and any costs of additional treatment.
Flygare was originally charged with three separate counts of rape, a first-degree felony, for having sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old girl, but he eventually pleaded guilty to amended charges. Police said the girl told them the pair were intimate 10 to 15 times and even had sexual intercourse at the school.
Investigators believe the relationship lasted about a month. It was discovered in March 2010 by the girl's parents, who returned home from a trip to find Flygare in their home, according to charging documents.
Once the girl's parents entered the home, Flygare picked up his jacket and left, saying that he was "sorry" as he went, a police affidavit states.
Flygare had been a teacher at the school since 2007.
