Washington served 120 days in jail on a previous conviction on a similar charge and was on probation at the time of the later crime.
His company, Miraculous Music, obtained contracts to teach in three Minneapolis elementary schools. Apparently, no background check was done on him before he was hired, the Star Tribune reported.
