MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A former Memphis school teacher has been sentenced to eight years of probation on sex charges.

25-year-old Darrin Miller entered "best interest" pleas Tuesday to three counts of sexual solicitation of a minor. He also pleaded guilty to four counts of solicitation of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Police arrested Miller in November 2011 after at least a half-dozen teenage boys said he drove up to them as they walked to school and offered them money for sex.

At the time, Miller was a teacher at Sheffield High School. Police said the students were 13-17 years old. None were in Miller's classes.

The incidents occurred between November 2010 and November 2011.

Miller has been in jail for 13 months and will be released Feb. 28.

Probation? Really? What are they waiting for, until he kills his victims? He is a threat to society and needs to be off the streets. Since you can not rehabilitate pedophiles, I say mandatory castration AFTER jail time is the only sensible penalty!

No, "gnfergu", but they CAN be neutered. 100% effective. If it were MY kid it would be a moot point.

Probation!! Are bulls***ing me! Peterphilos cannot be retrained. They are hardwired to seek out children to exploit. Two in his cap is what he deserves.
