Teacher Who Had Sex With Students Marries Victim And Gets Probation

Story here. Excerpt:

'A former computer technology teacher at a Haltom City, Texas, high school who had multiple sexual encounters with several students was sentenced to four years' probation Monday.

Tonya Flink, 40, pleaded guilty to two counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student. She is now married to one of her victims, prosecutors announced Monday.

“This was an unusual case in that one victim married the defendant and was not cooperative,” Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney Robert Foran wrote in an email to the Star-Telegram Monday. “The second victim is in agreement with the outcome. After taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances of both cases, we felt this was an appropriate resolution.”

Documents obtained by the newspaper said Flink had a sexual relationship with at least four of her students at Haltom High School during the 2010 - 2011 school year. Two of the students refused to cooperate with authorities, but one victim told investigators that Flink said she liked "young Hispanic kids," and also said that she loved him.'
