James R. Wolfe entered a plea deal of nolo contendere March 27, for one count of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, according to documents filed with the Flagler County Clerk of the Circuit Court. He originally pleaded not guilty to seven counts of the same charge Sept. 4.
Through the no contest plea, Wolfe does not admit to guilt, but he is no longer fighting the charges against him; therefore the courts filed a judgment of guilt.
Wolfe was ordered to be placed on sex offender community control for two years, followed by five years of sex offender probation under the supervision of the Department of Corrections. He has also been added to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement sexual offender registry.
The former Matanzas High School teacher and coach was arrested in August on charges that he had sex with a 16â€yearâ€old student between 2010 and 2011.
The investigation began on Aug. 14 after the victim reported to investigators that Wolfe had sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions between August 2010 and May 2011. At the time that the incidents had taken place, the victim was 16, and Wolfe was 28.
In compliance with sex offender community control, Wolfe is ordered to stay confined to his approved residence except for 30 minutes before and after his approved employment or public service work and maintain an hourly accounting of all his activities on a daily log. He is not to have any contact with the victim or her family members, and he must maintain a distance of 1,000 feet from all schools, child care facilities, parks, playgrounds and other places where minors regularly congregate.
