A former employee at the Nueva School’s San Mateo campus accused of sending lewd and inappropriate text messages to a 14-year-old female student is facing six months in county jail after pleading no contest to contact with a minor for the purpose of committing a sexual offense Wednesday, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.

Redwood City resident Ian Whiteman, 40, previously pleaded not guilty to charges of lewd acts upon a child age 14, contact with a minor for the purpose of committing a sexual offense and misdemeanor child annoyance and molestation. Having posted a $150,000 bail bond, he has been out of custody and will next appear in court May 3 for sentencing, according to prosecutors.
