Ex-Teacher Gets Prison for Soliciting Student Sex
A former teacher at the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center was sentenced to two years in federal prison Monday for using the Internet to solicit sex with a onetime pupil.
Guy Raz, 35, who pleaded guilty earlier this year, faced up to five years behind bars under terms of a plea agreement. He was arrested in October when he showed up for a meeting with the 13-year-old girl at the Altadena Public Library.
FBI agents said Raz obtained the girl’s e-mail address while teaching a religion class at the temple. His contract was not renewed when it expired in June.
