Adam Albrecht, 28, a former band teacher at Capuchino High School, was arrested June 28 at his Broadmoor home after the girl's mother discovered cell phone calls and text messages between the two and reported their relationship to police.
Albrecht was charged for acts that took place between February and May, primarily at Albrecht's home.
Albrecht agreed to plead no contest July 12 to one felony count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, one felony count of oral copulation with a minor, and one misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, for providing the girl with alcohol and marijuana.
...
"But Mr. Albrecht was the adult."
"This is a man who is immature and self-absorbed," she went on."This is the behavior of a 12-year-old boy who happens to have a car."Albrecht spoke briefly, offering his "deepest apologies and remorse to the victim and the victim's family."
"I never meant to cause them harm," Albrecht uttered softly."I will never forget what I have done and I will always be remorseful."
Judge John Grandsaert declined to sentence Albrecht to state prison, noting that he has "no prior record whatsoever," that he resigned his teaching position as soon as the relationship was discovered, and that he has requested to have his teaching credentials permanently revoked.
"I am certain you will not teach again," Grandsaert offered, to which Albrecht nodded in agreement.
...
"This has been a terribly damaging case," Grandsaert told Albrecht.
