URBANA – A Champaign County judge refused Friday to reduce the sentence of a former Urbana teacher convicted of child molestation.
The lawyer for Jon White, 28, formerly a teacher at Thomas Paine Elementary School in Urbana, argued that Judge Harry Clem relied on incorrect information by a sex offender evaluator about White's risk to reoffend in coming up with his sentence of 48 years in prison. Urbana attorney Brett Olmstead also argued the sentence was excessive given the circumstances of the crimes.
