Peter Surges worked as a monitor in the girl's school.

Prosecutors say that he started sending the girl notes--40 or 50 in all--beginning in 2010.

He wrote that he loved her and that her body was sexy.

The Daily Herald reports, Surges created a Facebook page in the girl's name.

Asked if he wanted to make a statement at his sentencing, Surges said he loved his family.

The girl's father said justice was done.
