90 Days In Jail
A former Brighton, Colorado Collegiate High School teacher was sentenced Friday after he was accused of having sex with a male student. Ralph Kelly, 35, pleaded guilty last November to attempted sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. The student, who said he is gay, told police that the two had sex when they were alone in a classroom. The assault occurred after the two exchanged suggestive words for several days prior to the assault, the student told police. Before he was sentenced, the former teacher apologized in court and said he did "cross the boundaries" when he had an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Kelly, a citizen of Ireland, was sentenced to 10 years of sex offender intensified probation. As a condition of Kelly’s probation, he was given a 90-day sentence in the Adams County Jail. He will also be deported. Kelly's partner of six years and his family were on hand during the sentencing. Kelly taught German and Social Science at the charter school.
The school is the same one where Carrie McCandless was a teacher. McCandless was sentenced to 45 days in jail for providing alcohol to, and having unlawful sexual contact with, a 17-year old student in 2006. Her husband was the school's principal and the incident gain nationwide publicity. The high school changed its name after the McCandless issue and after a new facility was built. The charter school is affiliated with the Brighton school district but is semi-autonomous.
A third incident resulted in similar charges in December of 2005. Substitute teacher David Mundy Jr. was sentenced to 60 days in jail for sexual contact with a female student. He is the son of then-school board president David Mundy Sr. Mundy Sr. resigned after he pleaded guilty of failing to report child abuse.

Lady Gaga makes a point of taking care of her "little monsters." That explains why the singer took time out from her busy touring and recording schedule on Wednesday to voice her support for 15-year-old Tennessee high school student Cole Goforth, who was sent home by officials at Greenbrier High School for wearing a T-shirt with the slogan "I Heart Lady Gay Gay."
"Thank u for wearing your tee-shirt proud at school, you make me so proud, at the monsterball, you are an inspiration to us all. I love you," Gaga tweeted on Wednesday, explaining that she'd been in the studio "for days and hours of record after record" when she heard one of her monsters was being discriminated against by teachers.
"I love you Cole, you just be yourself," she added early Thursday morning while on tour in Australia. "You're perfect the way God made you."
According to WSMV in Nashville, the fight over the shirt has turned into a First Amendment issue after Goforth's mother claimed that the school is violating her son's right to free speech by sending him home to change out of the shirt when other kids who wear shirts with religious slogans or Confederate flags aren't treated the same way.
Goforth, who is openly gay, drew the attention of his school's administrators on Monday, when he wore the shirt that pays homage to Gaga and her large gay following. He was sent home and ordered to change before returning to school because the shirt was allegedly causing a disruption. His mother said he's worn shirts with the word gay on them before with no problem and speculated that the issue is more about her son's look and orientation than the slogan.
"I think they are singling him out, I really do, and they've made statements that if he wore this in California, he'd fit in just fine," said mom Julie Gordon.
