OROVILLE, Calif. — A Las Plumas High School instructor has pleaded not guilty to charges of statutory rape of one of his students.

Authorities say Glenn Bruce Blakey engaged in a three-month sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl.

The Junior Navy ROTC instructor and retired Marine Corps gunnery sergeant has been on administrative leave since his arrest in February. Authorities have said the girl was involved in the Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps program.

Blakey, 45, was taken back into custody Tuesday after a Butte County judge raised his bail to $500,000. Prosecutors allege that Blakey proclaimed his love for the teenager via MySpace messages. He had previously posted bail at $125,000.

1. so this guy puts his "love" in writing on a somewhat public medium

not the brightest . . . .

I wonder if there was a family involved. I hope not.
