- Share via
A former teacher at Marshall High School pleaded no contest Wednesday to sexually molesting three special- education students, authorities said.
Fred David Johnson, 60, could receive up to six years in prison when he is sentenced April 29.
The victims were assaulted last year at the school in Los Feliz between Jan. 1 and Aug. 20. Johnson was charged with assault on a 19-year-old man and sexual abuse of children ages 14 to 17.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner Henry Hall ordered Johnson to undergo a 90-day diagnostic study before sentencing.
