Judge surprised by support for teacher in sex case
MOUNT CLEMENS (AP) -- A Macomb County judge is surprised by letters of support for a teacher who had sex with a student.
Christopher Skebo was sentenced to at least five years in prison last Thursday. He was accused of having sex last year with a 17-year-old student and sending explicit photos and video to more teens.
Skebo pleaded no contest to third-degree criminal sexual conduct and other crimes. He was a substitute music teacher at Stephenson High School in Sterling Heights and Tower High School in Warren.
Judge Mary Chrzanowski received 16 letters from supporters. She says it's "frightening" to see that people think the teacher is a good guy. The judge says Skebo has "awful, deviant tendencies."
Defense attorney Richard Marcil tells The Macomb Daily that he had expected a shorter sentence.
