California golf coach sentenced to 27 years for abusing 3 students, plotting to kill them

Published January 08, 2015

A popular northern California golf teacher convicted of molesting his students and plotting to kill them from jail has been sentenced to 27 years in state prison.

Alameda County District Attorney spokeswoman Teresa Drenick says Andrew Nisbet of Livermore was sentenced Thursday.

The 32-year-old Nisbet was convicted of sexually assaulting three boys between the ages of 12 and 17 from 2009 to 2012. He was arrested in December a day before he was to receive a PGA award for his work with young golfers.

Prosecutors say Nisbet tried to hire a hit man to kill the victims weeks after his arrest. The plan fell through when an informant gave Nisbet's letters to a sheriff's deputy in late February.

Under a plea deal, prosecutors dismissed nearly 80 felony charges that could have meant a life sentence.
