MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. -- A former teacher who has already served jail time for having sex with a 13-year-old student was sent to prison for more than six years Friday for violating her probation by sending the boy nude photos of herself.
When Pamela Rogers, 29, was released after serving 198 days in jail, she was under orders not to contact the student or his family or to use the Internet. But authorities say that even after appearing in court on a charge of violating her probation in April, she continued talking with the boy and sending him text messages and sexually explicit photos and video of herself.
Advertisement Memphis LMDA, July "You have done everything except show this court that you wanted to rehabilitate yourself," Warren County Circuit Judge Bart Stanley said. He revoked Rogers' probation and ordered her to serve the rest of a seven-year prison sentence that had been largely suspended.
Rogers, who has been in jail since April, presented evidence in a hearing Friday, including a clinical psychologist who said she was a sex addict. She apologized tearfully and was led away in handcuffs to a women's prison in Nashville.
Rogers worked as a physical education teacher at Centertown Elementary School, which the boy, now 14, attended.
She was first arrested in February 2005 and pleaded no contest to charges of statutory rape and sexual battery by an authority figure.
A grand jury issued a new indictment against Rogers last week charging her with four counts of exploiting a minor.
Rogers' mother asked the judge for leniency in a letter, saying a bad marriage had destabilized her daughter emotionally.
"No one would have done that if they were of normal mind," Karen Rogers wrote in the letter, obtained Friday by The Associated Press.
Well, I'd have to see the nude photos.
Where are the rest of the pictures?

She's guilty-ish. At first I thought she WAS the 13-year-old. She looks like she wants her binky.
She looks innocent and that's what should count in a court of law in a case like this.
She sure is a youngish looking 29 year old.
Not guilty. No question.
Plus, lovely parting gifts.
Her new roomie, Big Bertha will take care of that little problem for her.
Did you mean partying gifts?
Perhaps a hung jury?
You must be too young to remember the classic game show kiss-off.
Naughty Recidivist Teacher PING
McMinnville? She couldn't leave the kid alone just a little while longer, so the preacher-hubby killer Mary Winkler can get her Dad's house in Knoxville deeded up for her bond so she could move to McMinnville and work at the dry cleaners?
Drat. They could've been Thelma and Louise. Especially the driving off the cliff part.
"Not guilty. No question.
Plus, lovely parting gifts."
Without seeing a full body shot, how can you possibly judge her innocence.
Sometimes even I think men are simple.
Good! She belongs in jail!
She's nuts. Get her off the streets, and give her some meds. Bet she tries to do the same thing when they have to release her from prison.
Just reinforces my claim that she's innocent.
"Completely, totally, 100% NOT GUILTY!"
