Jason Price
MILWAUKEE -- 32-year-old Jason Price entered pleas to multiple charges against him in Milwaukee County court on Thursday, February 16th. Price is a former teacher's aide who was accused of sexually assaulting a student and sending others inappropriate photos and messages.
On Thursday, court records indicate Price entered an Alford plea to amended criminal counts including 4th degree sexual assault (2 counts) and computer message-threaten/obscenity (2 counts). An Alford plea is when a defendant enters a plea of guilty without making an admission of guilt.
Court records online also show Price pleaded guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a child and no contest to yet another computer message-threaten/obscenity charge. A child enticement count and cause child to view sexual activity count were both dismissed and read into the court record.
Price will be sentenced on Tuesday, February 20th.
