Court records show several additional misdemeanors were dismissed as part of a plea deal. Enwright is scheduled to be sentenced in May.

A detective on the case described Enwright's behavior as "grooming," according to court filings.
During a police interview, the complaint said Enwright admitted he communicated with the student via Snapchat – but denied he had done anything wrong. He said he only sent the photos and texts because he was "trying to raise her confidence and make her feel better about herself."
In May 2024, after charges were filed, the Kenosha Unified School District confirmed Enwright had been fired.
