GONZALES, La. (AP) - A former East Ascension High School assistant athletic trainer and health teacher has pleaded guilty to prohibited sexual conduct with a 17-year-old girl as part of a deal that allowed him to avoid jail.
The Advocate reports (https://bit.ly/2lRsD1z ) 34-year-old Louis Aguillard, of Prairieville, received a suspended six-month jail sentence Monday and six months’ probation, during which he can’t teach or coach. He also must pay a $1,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service.
Tyler Cavalier, spokesman for the 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office, said the victim - a student - didn’t want to testify at trial, which was to start Wednesday.
