Register-Guard - 9/1/2021
MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A former South Medford High School teacher and coach who sexually abused a minor student and tampered with a witness has been sentenced to 90 days in jail.
Noah Scott Berman, 31, was sentenced Tuesday, the Mail Tribune reported. He had been a physical education teacher and wrestling coach.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree sexual abuse and one count of witness tampering. Four additional counts of third-degree sexual abuse were dropped as part of a plea agreement.
He was also sentenced to five years of supervised probation. Berman was also required to give up his teaching license, pay restitution and register as a sex offender for life.
The charges stemmed from a 2020 investigation of an anonymous report by the Medford Police Department and Southern Oregon High-Tech Crimes Task Force.
