BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A former Roosevelt Elementary preschool teacher will spend the next twenty years in prison for sexually abusing a child for years.
41-year-old Ronald Guier was sentenced Monday after confessing and pleading guilty last year to charges of child molestation, incest and child rape.
The child he abused was not a student.
Guier’s sentence is above the standard range for his crimes, but Judge Deborah Garrett found his actions and the fact that the boy was mentally vulnerable called for a longer prison term.
Once released, Guier must stay away from the victim and areas where children congregate.
