Former Christian school teacher pleads guilty to child grooming charge | The Herald-News

A former teacher at Trinity Christian School in Shorewood pleaded guilty on Friday to sending inappropriate text messages to a 13-year-old girl last year.

Lemuel V. Elechicon, 51, of Crest Hill, was sentenced to 180 days in jail.

Elechicon will only have to serve three months of his six months sentence with day-for-day credit, said Charles B. Pelkie, the spokesman for the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

In April 2017, Shorewood Deputy Police Chief Jason Barten said the police department was notified that Elechicon and the teen had been exchanging text messages for about two months. The girl’s parents contacted police after being notified by the parents of a friend of the victim, Barten said.
