Andrew Nisbet, 32, of Livermore was sentenced to 27 years and
four months after pleading guilty to seven felony charges
including murder solicitation, lewd and lascivious acts on a
minor, and possessing child pornography, Alameda County District
Attorney spokeswoman Teresa Drenick said.
The once-celebrated golf instructor pleaded guilty to the
charges, after being accused of writing letters detailing the
murder plot and meeting with an undercover prosecutor who posed
as a hit man while Nisbet was in the Santa Rita Jail in the San
Francisco suburb of Dublin.
Nisbet was initially arrested last December following
allegations he molested boys between the ages of 12 and 17 from
2009 to 2012 who were in his junior golf program in Livermore,
an affluent city of about 80,000 on the eastern tip of the San
Francisco Bay Area.
The letters Nisbet allegedly wrote from jail to a confidential
informant asked to have the "victims taken care of" and agreed
on a price for each of the targets, the district attorney's
office said. Prosecutors said he offered to give the inspector
money to "prove he was serious."
Nisbet's 2013 arrest occurred just one day before he was set to
receive the Northern California PGA's 2013 Junior Gold Leader
Award, the Contra Costa Times newspaper reported.
