Former teacher gets probation for 'sex' with student

Story here. Excerpt:

'BELVIDERE — A former Belvidere High School teacher and volleyball coach was sentenced to probation today for having sex with a 15-year-old student in December 2007.

Loren Leoni, 25, was sentenced by Judge Joe McGraw at the Winnebago County Courthouse to 48 months of probation. She will undergo mandatory counseling and will register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.

“Sending her to prison isn’t going to restore him to the boy he was before this happened,” McGraw said in court while detailing the factors in his decision, which included a sex offender evaluation that said recidivism was unlikely.'
