Summary
A former teacher, Calvin Robinson, 44, has pleaded guilty to reduced charges in Santa Fe after originally facing serious accusations of criminal sexual penetration and enticement of a 13-year-old student in 2021. Under the plea deal, he admits to two counts of criminal sexual contact and will serve time followed by 5 to 20 years of supervised probation — with the suspended sentence potentially activated if he violates probation. The abuse began with classroom notes and escalated to physical contact in the school’s gym basement. Prosecutors noted the victim’s trauma and difficult life, and the state consulted her and her family before agreeing to the deal. Robinson initially balked at a similar plea because it barred him from living with his partner’s children — a restriction still in place. He apologized in court, mostly to his family. He has one week to settle personal affairs before surrendering. Meanwhile, the school where the abuse occurred, Holy Cross Catholic School, is closing after 75 years due to declining enrollment and financial strain.
