Jack Rice Appears on Law & Crime Network to Discuss the Challenges of Handling Teacher-Student Sex Crime Allegations
Jack Rice, founding attorney of Jack Rice Defense, recently appeared on the Law & Crime Network to discuss a high-profile case involving a local Minnesota volleyball coach, who is facing multiple felony counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct related to allegations of a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student-athlete. The charges have garnered public attention not just for the facts themselves, but because of the intense media scrutiny and the emotional, reputational, and legal impact cases like this can carry for everyone involved. If you are facing similar charges, reach out to Jack Rice Defense for a free confidential consultation at 651-447-7650 or 612-227-1339.
“These kinds of charges can be difficult and need to be handled with particular care.”
From the moment such allegations surface, the person accused is often presumed guilty in the court of public opinion. As Jack explained during his appearance, “These cases are emotionally explosive. They involve children, schools, and community trust. Prosecutors pursue them aggressively, and the consequences—if convicted—are devastating.”
In Minnesota, third-degree Criminal Sexual Conduct involving someone under 18 and a person in a position of authority, such as a coach or teacher, carries up to 15 years in prison and mandatory registration as a predatory offender. That means that, even for a first-time offender, a conviction can change everything—your freedom, your job, your home, your reputation, and your future.
Jack spoke powerfully about how important it is to approach cases like this with skill, experience, and care. “It’s not just about what happened or what didn’t happen,” he said. “It’s about understanding how prosecutors think, how judges approach these cases, and how jurors react. The stakes are enormous.”
That’s why, if you or someone you love is facing serious criminal charges—including allegations involving sexual misconduct, teacher-student relationships, or predatory offender registration—you need a team that understands the full scope of the fight ahead.
“There are many ways to find resolution in a case like this and trial isn’t the only way.”
