A former Georgia teacher who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting her student appeared to blame the teenage victim in court for roping her in “like a used car salesman,” PEOPLE confirms.
Therese Gunn, 54, confessed Friday to having a sexual relationship with a student who was 17, Karen West, Managing District Attorney at the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office, tells PEOPLE. The ex-orchestra teacher apologized for her actions before telling a judge the teen had coerced her.
“He was like a used car salesman,” Gunn said.
Gunn was sentenced to 90 days in prison and up to 10 years of probation, West says.
She taught at South Gwinnett High School for 25 years before she was arrested in May 2016, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The victim’s mother alerted authorities after reading her son’s journal, which highlighted the sexual encounters that occurred for several months at the school, a park and the teacher’s home, the Gwinnett County Police Department said in a statement.
Gunn had turned herself in to authorities and later resigned from her teaching position.
Speaking in court, the victim said Gunn “made [his] adolescence hell.”

And.... it’s GUILTY.
GUILTY
This poor kid will never be normal.
In a bad way.
Give the kid the Used Car Salesman of the Year Award!
Heck, give him the Used Car Salesman of the Century Award.
Did she teach blind students?
Right, and NONE of it was your fault, right???
Guess the kid specialized in selling junkers.
She’s got to be a Left loons...it’s always someone else’s fault.
Is the Cash for Clunkers program still around?
I think if I were on a jury I would vote guilty or innocent depending on how attractive the defendant is. Hate to say it, but that’s where I am. If she is hot she can be first lady of France. If she is not than she can be convict number 60229
She is so guilty.
Same excuse as that diabolical Tennessee teacher, Tad Cummins. He has asked for a trial delay - probably because his victim will be somewhat older (I hope not pregnant) and he will benefit from her more mature appearance.

The trial is currently scheduled to begin on July 25.
The motion states that the defense needs additional time to investigate and research issues in the case.
Cummins’ is requesting his trial be set for January of 2018.
Yeah those sly 17 yo boys can really take advantage of a 54 yo female teacher....
Kid must sell Wagon Queen Family Truckster’s
That used car sure had a lot of mileage.
That defense never works for men.

Like anyone anywhere would sleep with the angry old tub of lard unless she was threatening to flunk them.
