Anthony Mahari Faaborg, now 54, was also ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Faaborg pleaded no contest June 30 to three counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and one count each of oral copulation of a minor under 16 and lewd or lascivious act with a minor 14 or 15.
Faaborg had inappropriate sexual conduct with a 15-year-old female student in 2019 while he was a teacher at Pete Knight High School.
Faaborg was arrested in February 2020 at his home in Palmdale. He was subsequently released on bond later that month, but taken into custody again about a month ago and has remained behind bars since then, jail records show.
The victim has filed a civil lawsuit against Faaborg, Pete Knight High School Vice Principal Michael Ybarra, and the Antelope Valley Union High School District. The Los Angeles County Superior Court lawsuit alleges negligent supervision, sexual battery, sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

It may have been a setup, but a decent grown-up man wouldn’t have fallen into that trap. It’s just sad for everyone involved.
Cynic says
On the contrary. The previous story mentioned that the teacher gave the student marijuana, vape, and vodka. If anything, it was predatory behavior by the teacher.
Ceeric burdenlia Stevens says
Besides the teacher being gross, he is also very stupid.
Hope it was worth it, years in jail, never able to teach again or actually any job, being he is now a registered sex offender and felon.
REALLY hope it was worth it , you pathetic man.

Personally I think this was a setup so the family can make money by the little daughter like she didn’t know what was going on to begin with how can people be so stupid

The guy is a creep and threw his career away.
What’s with the 15 year old smoking week and drinking vodka with the teacher? That can’t be her first Rodeo. Girls home life must be seriously screwed up for her to go this route.
