He also admitted that he had helped fake a doctor’s letter for her that would excuse her from missing class when the two had one of their trysts. Finally, he acknowledged that after his arrest in May, he had continued to contact the girl about his case – although there is a disagreement about what exactly he said and why.
The Daily Local also reports that Fuller faces a maximum sentence of three and a half to seven years in prison, and that he will be sentenced in March.
