Story here. Excerpt:

"A former teacher accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student and fleeing with him to Mexico is expected to plead guilty to reduced charges, her attorney said Tuesday.

James Martin Davis, the attorney for 26-year-old Kelsey Peterson, said his client will plead guilty Wednesday to federal charges of having sex with a minor across state lines.

It's similar to the original charge of crossing the border to have sex with a minor but doesn't carry a minimum 10-year-sentence, Davis said."
