Female Teacher Sentenced To Prison For Affair With Student

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. -- A former social studies teacher at Ponderosa High School in Parker was sentenced to two years in prison and 10 years in a sexual offender probation program for having an affair with a teenage student.

She would also allow him to "monitor" her class, instead of going to his other classes, and then would go into the school's computer system to change his "unexcused" absences for his other classes to "excused," prosecutors said. This was "a sign of grooming" -- a signal of sex abuse, prosecutors said.
