Guilty

(2/24/08 - Initial BBT Report)

Thomas Garvin Best, a computer science teacher at Fredericksburg Christian Schools in Fredericksburg, Virginia has been arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated sexual battery and one count of taking indecent liberties with a minor.

The sexual assaults against a female victim allegedly occurred between 2001 and 2007 with one charge of sexual battery for each year during which the alleged assaults occurred. The 2001 alleged assault is said to have occurred while the victim was a juvenile.

Following his indictment, Best was released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned March 14.

11/11/08 - Sentencing

Thomas G. Best, who pleaded guilty in July to one count of indecent liberties and two counts of aggravated sexual battery, will spend one year in jail although he was sentenced to a total of 45 years on three charges.

All but one of the 45 year sentence were suspended by the judge who determined that Best presented a minimal risk of re-offending and was very remorseful.

Best will be on probation for the rest of his life.
