MANASSAS, Va. - A Prince William County prosecutor says a former Manassas teacher has pleaded guilty to a sex offense involving a former student.
Prince William Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert said Kevin Ricks faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty Thursday to indecent liberties with a minor. The victim is a 16-year-old former student.
Ebert said prosecutors presented a Prince William County circuit court judge with a journal entry in which the 50-year-old Ricks detailed sexual contact with the male teen.
Ricks, a Federalsburg, Md. resident, is being held at the Prince William County Detention Center. He will be sentenced in October.
Federal prosecutors charged Ricks earlier this week with transporting and possessing child pornography.

A four-month investigation by the Washington Post has uncovered the astonishing trail of a teacher, and alleged sexual predator, who reportedly began abusing young boys back in the 1970s. Manassas police have arrested 49-year-old Kevin Garfield Ricks, a teacher at Osbourn High School, and charged him with aggravated sexual battery and two counts of indecent liberties while in a supervisory position. |
