A former Helix High School teacher
who admitted having sex with a student
was sentenced to a year in jail
yesterday and placed on probation for
three years by a judge who told him,
“You violated your oath as a teacher.”
Garry Lin Wilcox will serve his jail term
in a work-furlough program where he's
allowed to leave for work but must
return every night to a locked-down
facility, Judge Patricia K. Cookson said.
Wilcox, 44, also must pay for
psychological counseling for the girl,
who was 17 years old at the time, and
for her family.
