PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A former Magoffin County High School teacher has indicated he is ready to plead guilty in a federal enticement case.

Jason Back, 43, of Salyersville, is accused of using social media to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity.

His attorney filed a motion Thursday asking to change his plea in the case, and the judge has set a re-arraignment hearing for Jan. 12 in Ashland federal court. If he pleads guilty to the original charge, he will face a sentence ranging anywhere from five years to life in prison.

Back is also charged with two counts of third-degree rape, one count of sodomy and two counts of procuring a minor by electronic means in Magoffin Circuit Court. A pretrial conference in that case is set for Jan. 15.
