A former Bay Area elementary school teacher who was convicted of molesting four of his students will spend the rest of his life in state prison, prosecutors said Monday.

According to San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe's office, a judge sentenced 34-year-old Jeremy Pakyin Yeh of San Mateo to a sentence of 200 years-to-life in prison at a hearing on Friday. Yeh was convicted in February of 17 counts of felony child molestation.

Prosecutors said Yeh taught 1st and 2nd grade at El Crystal Elementary School and Allen Elementary School, both located in San Bruno. El Crystal Elementary has since been closed.
