(6/26/07 – Initial BBT Report)

Anthony Graves, 28, of Lexington, Kentucky and a former teacher at Bryan Station High School has been sentenced to prison for eight years following his guilty plea last month to unlawful transaction with a minor in the first degree and possessing material of a minor engaged in a sexual act.

The victim was a 15-year-old female student who prosecutors say Graves met while he was a teacher at Tates Creek Middle School.

At both his guilty plea in May and today, Graves admitted to having sex with the girl multiple times and taking pictures of the sex acts.

The school became aware of the accusations against Graves on September 15th of last year and turned the information over to police. Graves who had worked for the school system for five years, four at Tates Creek Middle School and one at Bryan Station High School, was fired on September 18th.

Under the terms of the plea agreement, Graves was subject to a maximum five year sentence on the sex abuse charge and three years maximum on the child pornography charge. The judge decided that the sentences would be served consecutively.

12/21/07 – Probation Hearing

After serving only four months of his eight year prison sentence, Anthony Graves is seeking to be released on what is termed “shock probation”.

At today’s hearing Graves’ attorney highlighted his client’s emotional and spiritual growth since being incarcerated.

Also at today’s hearing Judge Kim Bunnell read for the first time a letter from the father of one of Graves’ victims. The letter urged the judge to keep Graves in prison.

The judge said that reading the letter would make issuing a ruling on the spot impossible.

There is no announced date for the judge to render her decision.

David D. Koepp, 40, of Winneconne, Wisconsin, a former teacher in the Omro School District, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for attempted receipt and possession of child pornography.

The federal indictment indicates Koepp attempted to receive a video file via his computer in October 2006 which depicted a four-year-old girl engaging in sexual activity with an adult male.

It is also charged that Koepp knew he had two images on his computer that depicted young girls engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

Koepp came to attention of authorities owing to an internet sting in which FBI agents created a link to a fake file containing child pornography and traced those that downloaded the file.

When FBI agents went to Koepp’s home to interview him he allegedly told them “he screwed up his life and that he will never get a job again.”

FBI agents reportely seized three computers, a 60-minute videocassette and a shoebox containing 68 computer disks from Koepp’s home.

Koepp was to be released to electronic monitoring in his home once it could be set up. Koepp is scheduled for trial on October 1st.
