Greece teacher Jeffrey Hoffman rejects plea

Greece elementary school music teacher Jeffrey A. Hoffman will go to trial this spring on charges that he sexually assaulted a student.

Hoffman, 28, on Tuesday rejected an offer that would have sent him to prison for two years if he pleaded guilty to a felony of second-degree criminal sexual act, the most serious charge against him.

Under terms of the proposed plea offer, which was accepted by the student and her family, Hoffman also would have been supervised by parole officers for 10 years after his release from prison.
