BLOOMINGTON – A former LeRoy High School teacher, who pleaded guilty to grooming a student, will spend some time in the county jail as part of his probation.
Brandon Reynolds, 35, was ordered to immediately serve the first 30 days of a six-month jail sentence. Judge William Yoder will decide at a hearing scheduled for December 15 whether Reynolds should serve the remaining 150 days of his jail sentence.
Reynolds must also spend 2 1/2-years on sex offender probation.
Reynolds pleaded guilty in March to a felony count of grooming in which authorities said he used a cellphone in an effort to solicit a minor to engage in sexual conduct. The crime happened in May of 2019.
Reynolds faced up to three years in state prison for his conviction on the Class 4 felony. Prosecutors recommended Reynolds spend one year in prison.
