PONCA CITY — A former Ponca City elementary school principal received a five-year suspended sentence on Tuesday after pleading no contest to sexually abusing a child.
Jeff Edwards, 36, was to begin his trial Tuesday but instead entered the plea to sexually abusing a child younger than 18.
Kay County District Judge D.W. Boyd sentenced Edwards to five years in prison with the term suspended as long as Edwards obeys the rules and conditions of probation. Edwards also will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
The victim and his mother agreed to the probation, the Kay County district attorney’s office said in a statement.
Edwards was principal at Trout Elementary School. The school has about 350 students in prekindergarten through the fifth grade.
The victim was not then a student at Trout Elementary School.
