JOLIET, IL — A now-former fifth grade teacher at Dirksen Junior High School will spend the next several years of his life behind the steel bars at an Illinois Department of Corrections penitentiary for his 2016 sex crimes victimizing a 12-year-old student.

On Thursday, Grundy County radio station WCSJ News reported that Kyle Camp, a Minooka resident, was given a prison sentence of 15 years. Camp received good time credit for spending the past 1,000-plus days in the Grundy County Jail.

WCSJ reported that Camp will be obligated to serve 85 percent of his prison sentence, which means he should be released in about 9-and-a-half years.
