A Casper man who once taught at a school, has admitted he had sexual contact with a then-14 year old girl.

Twenty-four year old Tyler Russell has pleaded guilty to two counts of third degree sexual abuse of a minor.

Police say during an interview with Russell, he admitted having sexual relations with the victim, between October and December of 2013.

As a part of a plea deal, prosecutors will seek no more than a three-to-12 year prison sentence.
