MOUNT ANGEL, Ore. -- A judge sentenced a former Mount Angel teacher to jail Monday for sexual abuse involving a student at his school.

No jail time was included in Colby Molan's deal that had him pleading guilty to third-degree sex abuse, but the judge put him behind bars anyway.

Judge Timothy Alexander looked at Molan and told him he got a tough draw behind the bench.

The judge told Molan he has a particularly harsh view of sex offenders and people who abuse positions of authority.

The judge said he was sending Molan to jail for six months, adding that he has no patience for child abusers.

Even though jail wasn't part of the plea bargain Molan agreed to, judges have the last say regarding sentencing. Plea deals are only a recommendation to the judge.

Molan was accused of having sex with an 18-year-old student at his school numerous times as well as kissing and fondling a 14-year-old student.

Prosecutors dropped a charge of official misconduct and one count of sexual abuse.

Molan was also ordered to have no contact with his victims.

Before the judge handed down his sentence, the 14-year-old victim's brother read her statement.

"I get so mad because this incident has changed my life. My parents don't view me as a child anymore, and that's what I am," the victim's brother said as he read her statement.

Molan also made a statement before the sentencing, apologizing for his actions.

"(I'm) terribly sorry for what's happened. Uh, I didn't imagine anything like this would ever happen before. I crossed a line that shouldn't have been crossed, and I hope both victims and everyone involved can get through this," Molan said.

Molan began serving his jail time Monday.
