A former Socastee High School teacher's aide has been sentenced to five years in prison on charges of criminal sexual conduct with a minor and lewd acts on a minor.
Ralph Marcelle Hough, 32, of Surfside Beach was indicted this year on charges stemming from an incident last July.
Police said the student was 16 years old at the time.
Hough will have to register as a sex offender once his sentence is complete.
He is also not allowed to take a job that involves working with children.
