Ex-teacher accused of drugging children for sex gets 8 years in prison



MOBILE, Ala. -- A federal judge in Mobile grappled Thursday over what to do about Melissa B. Gray.

The former schoolteacher appeared in U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose's court to be sentenced for receipt and distribution of child pornography.

But those charges represent only part of the story: Law enforcement investigators say Gray, 30, drugged two young children in her Chickasaw home, in an effort to render them unconscious so that a Florida man Gray met on the Internet would be able to molest them.
