Female Teacher Says She's Guilty of Having 'Sex' with Student

Story here. Excerpt:

'PLEASANT RIDGE, KAN - A high school teacher from Lansing accused of having sex with a student admitted her mistake on Friday and entered a plea to avoid a trial.

While Shannon Young plead guilty to having a sexual relationship with a student at her school, the young man's parents aren't pleased with the sentence she's expected to get because it doesn't involve jail time.

Young, 36, was an English teacher and a volleyball coach at Pleasant Ridge High School in Easton, Kansas during the 2009-2010 school year.

"If this was not a consensual relationship, this case would have been charged differently. The only thing that made it illegal was Ms. Young's status as a teacher," Young's lawyer Debra Snider said. "Otherwise, this would not have been an illegal set of actions at all."

Todd Thompson, the Leavenworth County attorney, says the teen's parents are outraged by what happened to their son.
...
While jail is unlikely, Young will be required to register as a sex offender for the next ten years. Young will learn her fate when she's sentenced on September 8.'
