Teacher Gets Deal After Inappropriate Relationship

POSTED: Thursday, April 3, 2008

A northwest Harris County high school teacher accused of having an improper relationship with a student will not go to prison, KPRC Local 2 reported Thursday.

Carlos Valencia, 43, agreed to a plea bargain with prosecutors to serve five years deferred adjudication.

The former Westfield High School Spanish teacher admitted to improperly touching a student on campus after an anonymous caller reported the incident to the school's tip line in November.

Valencia will also pay a $500 fine.

He was fired from his teaching position.
