Dennis Keith Brown, 52, a former teacher, plead guilty Wednesday to custodial sexual assault in exchange for a 15-year sentence, three of which will be served in prison, according to the Douglas County Sentinel.

“Your honor, I apologize for what I have done,” Brown said in the Sentinel article. “I lost my wife, I have lost my job, my career, but I’m the one responsible for that. I apologize to everyone for the embarrassment and shame I have brought on by my actions. ... In some ways jail will be a relief, because I feel like for the last six months I have been walking around with a scarlet letter on me.”
