Former Karate Teacher Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Jeffrey Alan Spangler, 38, of Elkview has been sentenced to one to five years in prison, the maximum sentence allowed by law, after he pleaded guilty last month to one charge of third-degree sexual assault involving a 13 year old girl he met through a karate class he taught part-time in Mink Shoals. Kanawha Circuit Judge Duke Bloom told Spangler he hoped he was denied parole and spends his entire sentence behind bars. Bloom also imposed a $10,000 fine and ruled that Spangler register as a sex offender and be supervised for 40 years after getting out of prison.
