Former South Dakota teacher and coach Andy Tate wants the Mitchell School Districts insurance to cover the 25,000 in legal bills he spent to defend himself in a lawsuit brought by a former student. Brittany Plamp said in her lawsuit that Tate inappropriately touched her while they were alone in a high school classroom. She sought to hold the district liable. The school district brought Tate into the lawsuit as a third-party defendant so that he could be forced to share in the payment of any damages awarded by a jury. A federal jury ruled early this month that she was the victim of battery by Tate, but it said the school district was not responsible. Tate has asked the Associated School Boards of South Dakota Protective Trust to pay his legal bills, according to his attorney, Russ Janklow, of Sioux Falls. The Trust is a joint insurance pool entered into by school districts and administered by the ASBSD. Brian Aust,canada goose pas cher, ASBSDs director of communications, said a decision on Tates request is not expected until after a 30-day deadline passes to file appeals in the court case. I can tell you there is a question of whether Mr. Tate is covered under the districts insurance policy, Aust said, and the situation will be handled either between the parties or through the legal system. Tate sued the ASBSD Protective Trust earlier this year in state circuit court to seek coverage for legal costs he was incurring. Tates lawyer during the Plamp lawsuit, Michael Tobin, of Sioux Falls, said he could be called as a witness if the Tate lawsuit against the Trust continues and advised Tate to find another attorney. Tate has since retained Janklow. The Mitchell School Districts legal costs from defending the Plamp lawsuit are being covered by its ASBSD policy. Tate, a former wrestling coach, testified during the trial that his touching of Plamp was not sexual in nature but was meant to show how thin she was because of an eating disorder. Tate said he was trying to persuade Plamp to eat better and that an ensuing conversation about sex was wrong. In September 2006, Tate was sentenced to two years probation after pleading no contest to one count of stalking. He had been accused of stalking four high school girls. As part of a plea agreement, three counts were dismissed. Information from: The Daily Republic, www.mitchellrepublic.com Copyright 2011 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

A former top agent for American Family Insurance has been sentenced to four years in prison on 104 criminal counts accusing her of establishing dozens of fraudulent insurance policies. Waukesha County Circuit Judge Kathryn Foster sentenced Nancy Paquette, 46, of Delafield,canada goose, also ordering her to serve supervision and probation totaling an additional 16 years. A jury found Paquette guilty in March of 52 counts of forgery, and 52 counts of identity theft concerning the fraudulent policies. The jury also found her guilty of two counts of theft of a commercial customers premiums. Paquette, a former repeat agent-of-the-year for the company who earned more than 1 million in the four years before her scheme was uncovered, was charged in May 2006 in a criminal complaint that said she paid 200,000 of her own money to establish the policies. In turn, according to the complaint, Paquette collected 265,000 in commissions before the scheme was uncovered. There were over 350 suspected fake policies and probably many more,Gucci pas cher, Assistant District Attorney Lesli Boese told Judge Foster. Paquette did not testify during her trial. She instead relied on her explanation to American Family Insurance officials before her firing that the falsified policies were taken out by supposed organized-crime figures who later vanished without a trace. In interviews for a sentencing memorandum, she stuck with the organized-crime story. Nancy lost her way somewhere along the way,www.canadagoosejakke-dk.net, defense attorney Paul Bucher said. The explanation has to be mental health and emotional issues. Bucher said that, because Paquette needs treatment, it would be wrong to send her to prison because she would not get it there. He urged a two-year term in the county jail followed by lengthy probation. Foster denied a request by Bucher to stay the sentence pending appeal. Copyright 2011 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
