According to the Bullitt County Sheriff's Department, a Shepherdsville teacher has been arrested for "inappropriate sexual contact", by his own admission, with one of his female students on school property.
Timothy Lands, former Bullitt Central High School “teacher of the year”, is charged with first-degree sexual abuse, a felony, and is being held in the Bullitt County jail. A conviction for sexual abuse in the first-degree carries a five to ten year prison sentence.
Reportedly the sexual activity between Lands and his student - said to include oral sex and masturbation - actually took place on school grounds. Although sixteen is the age of consent in Kentucky, there is a specific law against sexual conduct between a teacher and a student.
