Andrews, 41, pled guilty to two counts of statutory rape in June. At the time of his December 2015, arrest, Andrews was a teacher at Swiss Memorial Elementary School and assistant football coach at Grundy County High School. He was immediately suspended of all duties when arrested. He was released from jail on a $60,000 bond and required to wear a GPS monitoring device to ensure he had no contact with the victim.
