A former Oakfield-Alabama band teacher admitted to an inappropriate relationship with a student on Thursday thereby avoiding trial on the more serious charge of sexual abuse, 3rd.
Kerry Hoffman entered guilty pleas in Oakfield Town Court to endangering the welfare of a child and official misconduct.
He will be required to give up his teaching credentials under the terms of the plea agreement, according to Assistant District Attorney Kevin Finnell.
Hoffman made factual admissions, according to Finnell, of making several phone calls and sending several text messages to a teenage student, and to taking her to the mall without her parents permission. But he did not admit to inappropriate touching and kissing, which the girl claimed happened.
Under terms of the agreement, Hoffman will serve two months intermittent incarceration and three years probation.

This post DOES NOT SAY a sentence has been imposed. It states what the plea agreement is and what, under terms of the plea agreement, the sentence will be.
Short of Kevin Finnell or Hoffman's attorney contacting me on the record and saying something is incorrect in this post, I'm standing by it as accurate and fair.
