A 15-year-old’s diary may be brought into court as evidence in a case which put Nikiski Middle High School on lock down last year.
Former music teacher Jeremy Anderson, now 37, stands accused of conducting a sexual relationship with the student between December 2013 and May 2014 when another teacher reported the relationship to authorities.
Public Defender Dina Cale successfully requested several items be released, including the victim’s diary, records from 2013 complaints about inappropriate conversations between the pair, sexual assault response team exam reports, transcripts of conversations between Anderson and the victim, six months worth of surveillance videos from the school and records of other sexual abuse cases involving the victim and “inappropriate sexual acts” from her past.
Judge Carl Bauman denied Cale’s request for records from the victim’s psychotherapist.
Anderson is facing 16 charges of sexual abuse, 14 of those are first-degree charges. Each first-degree charge carries a potential 99-year prison term and $500,000 fine.
