A former middle school teacher will serve 30 days in jail and four years probation for getting drunk, swimming underwater, and biting a 14-year-old girl in her buttocks.
Jonathan William Herbert, 30, reached a plea agreement with Georgia prosecutors on Friday.
Herbert entered a first offender plea to charges of battery, public drunkenness, and bribery, according to the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Initially, Herbert was charged with sexual battery, but that charge was dropped because prosecutors were concerned they would not be able to secure a conviction.
On the evening of July 4, Herbert was swimming at the Lake Lanier Island beach in Buford, Georgia.
According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, Herbert swam underwater and bit the buttocks of a 14-year-old girl, who was playing volleyball at the time.
Investigators said that Herbert had no known connections to the girl or her family.
The incident was witnessed by a number of beachgoers, who reported it to police.
At around 8:30pm, Herbert was taken into custody.
Sheriff’s deputies said he was drunk at the time of his arrest.
