Sturges was ordered by the judge to undergo sex offender treatment and stay away from the victim
A photographer known for his images of nude adolescents has pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old student in the mid-1970s while he was a teacher and dorm parent at a private boarding school in Massachusetts, prosecutors said.
Former Northfield Mount Hermon teacher John “Jock" Sturges, 74, was sentenced to three years of probation this week after pleading guilty in Franklin Superior Court to a charge of an unnatural and lascivious act on a child under 16, according to a statement on November 16 from the Northwestern district attorney's office.
Sturges, who now lives in Seattle, was ordered by the judge to undergo sex offender treatment and stay away from the victim.
