One of the conditions of Njoroge's Alford plea to a charge of having sexual contact with a student was that she surrender her teaching certificate.
Eric Avant, supervisor of Education Certification/Conduct and Investigation for DESE, sent a letter to the circuit clerk asking for a certified copy of the sentence, judgment, typed docket sheets, handwritten docket entries and all charging documents.
Njoroge withdrew her not guilty plea in October, moments before her trial was scheduled to begin and submitted an Alford plea, which means she was not admitting guilt, but was acknowledging that the prosecution had enough evidence to convict her.
Judge David Mouton handed Njoroge a suspended sentence and placed her on supervised probation for five years. She was ordered to pay $50 to the Jasper County Law Enforcement Restituation Fund. Njoroge was represented by attorneys Dee Wampler, Joe Passanise, Scott Pierson and Judd McPherson.
Njoroge was arrested for an after school hours sex act with an 18-year-old student April 25, 2014..

I'm glad she had the criminal (Judd) representing her in all of this. Misery loves company.
ReplyDeleteThat is crazy! She was my choir teacher. Amazing the things that people hide and do. I would have never guessed something like this with her. But people are never who they seem to be
ReplyDeleteRevocation of teaching degree shpuld be automatically part of the judment when a teacher is convicted of a sex crime.
ReplyDeleteThe state should not have to forego the expense of an additional court peoceeding or filings.
These are the kind of laws that our senators should be concerned about instead of fighting over letting illegals come into/stay in our country.
