A onetime St. Cloud Tech High School student has been spared prison during sentencing for sexually assaulting three teenage girls in early 2018.

Deshun T. Nathan, 22, of Sauk Rapids was sentenced Thursday to five years' probation after pleading guilty to the assaults in Stearns County District Court.

Judge Sarah Hennesy ordered Nathan to complete sex offender treatment programming, refrain from using sexually explicit material and register as a predatory offender. Any probation violations could subject Nathan to a prison sentence.

Nathan met the 15-year-old girls through Snapchat and admitted sexually assaulting each of them, the criminal complaints said. Two of the assaults occurred at the school, which he attended at the time.
