Student caught cheating
receives judge’s
sentence
From Staff Reports
A former Purdue student who was caught cheating
last year received a sentence on Tuesday from a Tippecanoe County judge.
Hyon Duk Lee, who was a pharmacy student, was expelled
from Purdue after he was caught on tape breaking into a professor's
office and stealing copies of tests. Lee was charged in connection to
incidents in December 1999 and March 2000.
Judge George Heid, Tippecanoe County Superior Court
2, sentenced Lee to two years of probation, including three months of
house arrest, 60 hours of community service and restitution in an amount
not yet determined.
"That means he'll be on house arrest for three
months and he'll be on supervised probation (after that). He'll do community
service as part of his sentence," said Karen Beard, the court reporter.
In making his decision, Beard said that Heid weighed
the aggravating and mitigating factors to determine the sentence. "(Those
factors include that) he was remorseful, he apologized to the dean of
the pharmacy school, he was gainfully employed after the incident and
he has no prior history (of crime)," said Beard.
