Probably did not know, but definitely was involved in some way with her before she graduated otherwise why would there just be text exchanges the day she graduates. 
Not saying I agree with the punishment just saying he as definitely involved with her while she was a student.

she was 18 and a graduate already, when the trial begins all she has to do is not show up

It's a stupid law. The day after you graduate should be enough. I've always said, a random 26 year old can have sex with an 18 year old that's still in high school but a 26 year old teacher can get 20 years for the same thing.

A woman can bang one of her 12 year old special ed kids and be out right after getting booked.

I teach math and coach cross country/track at my school. Before I taught there I coached there while teaching at a different school. Happens all the time.
Jail time for this is dumb

An arbitrary 90 day window isn't going to change things
Disagree. The 90 day window is to allow her to get away from a groomer for long enough to break the spell. I’m not saying it’s a good law, but yeah, the 90 day window could very well change things.

If they want that to be a rule for costing him his job sure. If she’s making the choice to engage in a relationship with him as a consenting adult out of his sphere of influence that’s on her and shouldn’t constitute legal action.

Like what exactly? Two legal adults consenting?
Well if it was two legal adults consenting then there wouldn't be a problem, but they weren't both legal which is why one of them was arrested and faces prison. Just because they were both the of majority age doesn't mean they were two legal adults. It was an act that broke the law! This exact scenario is why the law makers included 90 day post graduation language.
Whether or not you, me, or the dumbass coach agrees with the law is irrelevant. It's still the law and he broke it!

What got the charges instigated in the first place? Something else is afoot.

Does the 90-day window infringe upon her rights as an adult?

Except it's not the same thing. As a coach she was in his "sphere of influence" and he supposedly "started" texting her on graduation day. I'm calling bullshite!
How most of you do not recognize that this scenario is full of moral, ethical, and in this case legal implications blows my mind?
If this was your daughter, sister, classmate, etc. would you really be ok with this?

I'm not a lawyer but I'm fairly certain these laws are constitutional since anti-fratinization laws have probably been part of UCMJ since the constitution was written and have withstood the test of time!

Original source was People, and this is from US weekly
Now have to find a local site to actually see which version is accurate, but a few things about the below seem incorrect.

Cody Pester, a former sixth-grade teacher at Palmyra Junior-Senior High School in Nebraska, was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing a former student he met during local athletic events.
(On Jan. 23, investigators interviewed the victim who said she and Pester met when she was an athlete at the school.)
Pester allegedly sent over 13,000 text messages, many of which were sexual in nature, to the victim, who was 17 years old at the time of the abuse.
Palmyra Superintendent Michael Hart confirmed Pester's termination and assured parents that counseling and support services will be provided to students, urging anyone with information to contact the sheriff's office.
Pester had been a teacher at Palmyra Junior-Senior High School, Us Weekly confirmed. The victim is now 18 years old, according to police.
Unfortunately for Pester, when he began communicating with the teen in May 2025, she was still only 17 years old — and fast approaching her high school graduation.
Pester, Us Weekly has learned, has also worked as a girl's wrestling coach.
Investigators started digging and eventually discovered that 13,000-plus text messages had been sent between Pester and the teenager and that many of them were "sexual in nature."

I believe its 2 years in Louisiana after graduation.
In my opinion this is what it should be. It removes all doubt of abuse of power.

This is why I'll never understand the OT with stories like this. This sick a-hole was actively grooming this student. What do you all not understand about what grooming is?
It fricks these kids up and creates long term mental health issues.
Some of seriously seem like you live out your sick fantasies in these stories. And yeah, I see that the teacher is a man.
frick him, go rot in a prison.

Of course. But she was not a consenting adult and wouldn’t have been for another 30 days or so.

It's to prevent grooming so a legal savvy teacher doesn't lay the foundation for a sexual relationship and cash in the day after graduation. Is a three month buffer arbitrary? Yeah, I guess so but you have to draw a line somewhere in that muddy sand and I guess they figured three months was a proper freeze out to hinder the typical human libido.
SafeSport limits this as well once an athlete turns 18. I think the time period is three years. Definitely would hurt someone trying to groom an athlete. Doesn’t sound like that was involved here at all though.

There are actually some articles that state they known each other specifically thru school sports, and at least one that mentions she might have been on the girl’s wrestling team (and still 17 when the texting began but 18 when the relationship and sex started). Admittedly some articles are less likely to have the facts than others, but the local news there hasn’t reported or confirmed a lot of details yet. Not sure where People, US Weekly, and others are getting their additional “facts” from.

18 and consenting and getting 20 years is ridiculous when we see a post a day about female teachers with no punishment.
I saw a female teacher that hooked up with a student under 18 only get probation. This is crazy.
