A 41-year-old former teacher's aide was convicted late Thursday of groping and soliciting a 16-year-old girl for sex in 2005.
Ned L. Roberson, who at the time of the incident lived in the 1000 block of Rutledge Street, will be sentenced Aug. 17 by Circuit Judge Leo Zappa. He faces up to three to seven years in prison for aggravated criminal sexual abuse and up to two to five years for indecent solicitation of a child. Both crimes are probationable.
A Sangamon County jury took about five hours to reach its verdict after a three-day trial. GUILTY.
Roberson was arrested in 1997 for allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old
girl, but the case was dismissed when the alleged victim either couldn't be
found or wouldn't cooperate.

Sheesh, I didn't know there was a pedophile teacher running around Springfield...
I responded on the Shelton/Reeves case.
I can't figure out, are you being sarcastic?
No.
