A married teacher, who was caught partially naked with a 17-year-old student, has pleaded guilty to the charges and escaped jail, it emerged today.
Carrie Shafer, 39, a former biology teacher at duPont Manual High School, Kentucky, must instead serve three years of supervised probation after agreeing to a plea deal designed to get the case done and dusted quickly.
Legally she can teach again after her probation is up, but will be a convicted felon and is unlikely to be accepted by any school district, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jon Heck said after the hearing.
Looking fresh-faced and still wearing her wedding bands, the blonde mother-of-two entered her plea in a quiet yet determined voice at the Jefferson Circuit Court today.
She admitted taking the teen, who has not been named, to William F Miles Park, in Jefferson County on March 11 and giving him alcohol.
An arrest report revealed Shafer was found in a compromising position with the student from her school in Louisville.
