Jason Dean, a teacher accused of grooming and sexually assaulting students, pleaded no contest to five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
The 37-year-old Livonia resident accused by a former 2010 student at Cedar Crest Academy in Springfield Township entered his pleas over Zoom the morning of April 15.
“That’s five counts total,” Oakland Circuit Court Judge Yasmine Poles said. “Do you understand that, Mr. Dean? There’s two counts as to one of your files and three counts as to the other. You’re taking responsibility for all of those.”
“Yes,” he replied.
Dean was to report to Oakland County Jail by the afternoon. He is scheduled for a May 20 sentencing.
