Quote:
A theater arts instructor at College Station High School has been arrested, accused of sexual misconduct with a student.

Gregory Stanley, 42, is accused of Improper Relationship between Educator and Student.
According to College Station Police, a 17-year-old male student who attends CSHS came to the police department Monday claiming Stanley had "initiated unwanted sexual contact" with him at Stanley's home.
CSPD says detectives obtained evidence that showed the student was telling the truth. A warrant was issued for Stanley's arrest, and he was taken into custody Tuesday night at his home.

Sicko did this to a kid while he was at Magnolia HS, too. If convicted, he needs to swing.

Instead of never letting your kids outside because you're scared of freaks like these, tell your kids to live their lives. Most importantly, teach them to know when to say something about anything that may be criminal or unethical for teachers.

I had a theatre kid at the time and I remember Stanley being way too chummy with the kids.

My understanding is he pleaded guilty thinking he would probably get a light sentence. He then realized that wasn't guaranteed to be the case, and withdrew the plea. This has been drug out / delayed for years.

It's sad that I immediately thought of three different names and his wasn't one of them.

Agreed. It seems to be a common occurrence across the state, not just here.

I was supposed to have jury duty with Brazos County this week. I, however, am the primary caregiver for my 2 kids who are under the age of 5.

I had it scheduled for today, but it was cancelled.

It's more than just across the state. Epstein didn't kill himself for no reason.

How did it take over 6 yrs for this case to get to trial?

Ok, so why was it taking four years to get to trial?

The state was asking for twelve to twenty years, and ten years is a long time. He will never teach again and is a convicted felon, so he didn't get off lightly.

Sex offenders should be in prison for as long as their victims remember the crime.

I have a personal interest in this case. My family was involved in how this unfolded. In the punishment phase of the trial they brought another 2 witnesses (not minors) who had similar encounters with Stanley, one being much worse. He had an MO, a pattern of doing this. There was no consensual relationship. This was unwanted.

10 years is more than I expected. I thought he might get a couple of years.

He'll have to register as a sex offender right? Are those people still required to have signs on or near their front doors?

I was on a jury several years ago in Brazos County. it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Dude was in his mid 20's and victim was a relative about 10.

Almost begged to get off of the jury but only got a "can you be impartial" talk from Judge Bryan.

First juror called. I always wondered why his attorney didn't strike me.

We only had to determine guilty or not guilty. Trial lasted a week. Went to the jury room to deliberate. Took a vote immediately and all 12 of us voted guilty. They delivered lunch. We voted again and all 12 said guilty.

We only had to deliver guilt. Audience was mostly his family and some former Consol high school teachers who testified what a good kid he was.. They were all crying etc. About two weeks later Judge Bryan gave him 85 years. I bet his life has been a living hell in prison.

No sympathy for that guy. He could have avoided all of that by not sexually abusing a child. Prison is a much better alternative than he would get in many countries.

Schools are the world's worst about letting a teacher resign and move on to the next school without firing him/her with cause. This guy is a perfect example of this.

And in some cases, district superintendents as well.

He hasn't been teaching since his arrest, and if he applied to any teaching jobs during that time, the school could easily Google him and see the news articles, so CSISD probably let him resign instead of firing him because he hadn't been proven guilty or directly confessed at the time.

He will most likely be out by his projected release date. If his parole is rejected, he will be eligible for parole annually. He was sentenced to ten years on January 19th.

His projected release date was moved to February 17, 2026 and his parole eligibility date was moved to February 17, 2023, which is less than a month from now. He was my teacher, which is why I'm updating after so long, since I knew him. Also, it's ironic that he was previously in the Holliday Unit, when prison sucks and isn't a holiday (I know it's named after a guy named Holliday, but it's still ironic). He didn't appeal his conviction, which is unusual, since most people who receive lengthy prison sentences after being convicted at trial appeal.

I would not support parole. One year in a 10 year sentence? I think not.
