Donald Mansell, a former Christian school teacher and athletics coach, will serve 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of third-degree sexual abuse and two counts of harassment. The misdemeanor convictions stem from incidents where Mansell, 37, fondled two teenage female students and asked them for sex between 2010 and 2013.
Mansell, who worked at Livingston Adventist Academy and who is also the son-in-law of Marion County Judge Vance Day, was sentenced to five years of probation to begin after his release from jail. He’ll also have to register as a sex offender.
The sentencing conditions allow Mansell to have his probation ended two years early if he fully complies with its terms, court documents show. He can also have the convictions erased from his record in time.
The attorneys representing the two victims were not happy with Mansell’s sentence.
Ron Sayer, an attorney representing Mansell’s victims, said the sentence is the “worse miscarriage of justice that occurs in our system.”
