Incident reports say Michel inappropriately touched male students or offered to pay them to see their genitalia. The school launched a sexual misconduct investigation and he was arrested last month on molestation charges.

During his first appearance in court, the judge ordered that he’s not allowed to have any contact with the alleged victims or any children under 18 and he can’t possess any firearms.

According to court documents, Michel is allowed 103 days of jail credit for time incarcerated before his sentence. He is still allowed to appeal his sentence under state law.
