The Montana high school teacher sentenced to 30 days in prison for raping a 14-year-old girl will face a new sentencing hearing after state District Judge G. Todd Baugh announced that he may have misread state law and handed down an “illegal sentence.”
“The state will review the issue and we will be prepared to be in court on Friday,” Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito told the Billings Gazette in response to Baugh’s order.
