Former Loveland Teacher Sentenced For Sex Assault

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) ― A former social studies teacher at a Loveland middle school is being ordered to spend one year behind bars and 10 years on probation for sexually assaulting an underage girl.

Larimer County District Judge James Hiatt handed down the sentence Tuesday to 42-year-old Michael Gaylor.

The former Walt Clark Middle School teacher apologized in court, saying he took advantage of his position without any regard for the girl. He said he took the victim's innocence, and called his former students victims, saying they'll "forever question their relationships with their teachers."

Gaylor had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual assault and attempted sexual exploitation of a child.

He will have to pay restitution and cover the costs of counseling for the victim and her family.
