"Jeffrey Knight changed his plea one day before he was due to stand trial, court records show. In addition to his prison sentence, he received five years of probation with orders to register as a sex offender, have no contact with his victims, abstain from working with children, and have no unsupervised contact with kids other than his grandchildren, among other conditions."
"The Pembroke resident's crimes date back more than a decade. In one case, prosecutors said Knight touched a student's back and buttocks with his genitals and groped her breast and buttocks with his hand. In another case, a former student told authorities Knight slid his hand up her dress and touched her breast while complimenting her clothes and eyeshadow, according to court documents. She was in the eighth grade at the time."
Jeffrey Knight pleaded guilty to multiple counts of indecent assault and battery and related charges after changing his plea one day before trial. He received a two-and-a-half-year prison term and five years of probation, and was ordered to register as a sex offender, have no contact with his victims, abstain from working with children, and avoid unsupervised contact with minors except his grandchildren. The crimes date back more than a decade and include incidents where he touched students' breasts and buttocks and slid his hand up a student's dress while she was in eighth grade. Knight had a prior conviction in 2021 for similar conduct. A victim described enduring humiliation and trauma that affected her through high school and college.
