DARLINGTON - A Shullsburg man who pleaded guilty to two counts of having sex with a Shullsburg High School student while teaching at the school was sentenced to five years probation Monday.

As part of his probation, Lafayette County Circuit Court Judge William D. Johnston ordered Strang to serve eight months in the Lafayette County Jail with work release privileges. He must also comply with rules determined by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and must also register as a sex offender.
The assaults occurred when Strang was a teacher at the High School in Shullsburg in 2000 and 2001. He engaged in sexual intercourse with the student at his home during her junior and senior year.
Strang faced up to 10 years in prison and faces a $10,000 fine for each count.

After charges were filed in late 2008, Strang was suspended without pay.
