Former teacher sentenced to three years for child solicitation

ANDERSON,Ind. (WISH) – A former Anderson Christian School teacher will spend the next three years in prison for child solicitation.

Patrick Porter was sentenced Monday after having inappropriate electronic communication with a teenage girl.

The 60-year-old Porter will also serve three years probation after his prison sentence as part of his punishment.

Porter’s sentence comes after he accepted a plea deal in which he agreed to plead guilty to the level five felony.

He had originally turned himself into authorities June 9 after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
