GUILTY Teacher using 100-200 students to become "sexually aroused" GUILTY
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif.—A former substitute teacher who admitted to inappropriately touching six young female students has been sentenced to five years in prison.
"I was very pleased with the sentence because that's what we were seeking," said Deputy District Attorney Jason Anderson of Friday's sentence.
Olsen's attorney, Gina Kershaw, said Olsen expected the judge to give him probation because he had no prior offenses and took responsibility for his actions.
"We were pretty shocked," she said. "What Olsen actually did was minimal. There was not the touching of private parts or anything like that, so I think it's a really harsh sentence."
In February, Eric Norman Olsen, 29, pleaded no contest to the six counts of child molestation.
Authorities began investigating Olsen last summer after several students at an Ontario elementary school reported that he had put his hand under a girl's shirt and touched her back while she showed him her assignments. He had taught at over a dozen Southern California schools.

No evidence?
WILMINGTON, N.C. There was no credible evidence of a romantic relationship between a 40-year-old high school science teacher and a 16-year-old student until the couple married, Brunswick County school officials say.
In November, South Brunswick High School Principal Vann Pennell directed Wuchae to cease all contact with Hager, noting that a lengthy list of phone calls and text messages with the student "did raise questions of poor judgment."
The school suspended Wuchae in May after finding that he had communicated with Hager at school. Both he and the teenager continued to deny a romantic relationship, the school board said.
