An Ohio high school teacher who allegedly had sex with players on the school's football team, then claimed insanity as a defense, was found guilty Thursday.
Stacy Schuler, 33, was convicted of 16 felony counts of sexual battery and three misdemeanor counts of providing alcohol to minors. She was sentenced to four years in prison.
Attorneys for Schuler, who resigned from her post as a health and physical education teacher at Mason High School last February, reportedly have argued that the alleged sexual acts may never have occurred, as Schuler has no memory of them.
But two young men who testified during this week's trial, which began Monday, described Schuler's greeting them in her home, flirting and massaging them with oil. They then continued in either the bathroom or bedroom, reports Cincinnati TV station WKRC.
Another student, a girl who served as Schuler's teacher's aide for three years, testified on Tuesday that when she visited Schuler after graduation her former teacher said she feared for her job after something had happened with some students.
"She told me that if anyone ever found out she already had her defense planned out and that she'd try to say that she was insane," the young woman said in court.
Schuler never testified on her own behalf. But the defense did call to the stand former students who spoke of Schuler's dedication to her profession and the help she offered them. According to WKRC, their testimony painted a portrait of a teacher so nice that she admitted to having a difficult time setting boundaries.

I'll say.
How does one look 50 and be only 33?
Physical education that was mostly physical and little education.
Butter Face??
That's one way to put it.
see real picture in post 3. Her lawyer had her go for the matronly school marm look to influence the judge and or jury.
Poor boys hope they will be able to over come this.
No doubt...she was just CRAZY about those high school athletes...
“Poor boys hope they will be able to over come this.”
They did.
This is the truth of the matter. Its not an excuse and should not diminish the punishment. But adult women who go after teenage boys are really sick. Period. Normal adults don't want to have sex with 13, 14, 15 year old kids. Period. People who do are sick and depraved.
If any of the kids were like me in high school it would have been a real education.
Defense makeup artist probably. Wanted to make her look like an old innoncent teacher.
Way too little jail time.
Where I went if a teacher told a dirty joke it would have been a scandal. but times change and not for the better in the schools.
He did a good job.
The third picture, I’d be willing to hit, but not the first picture.
When was 15-18, I still would have hit that. Of course, I wasn’t a football player.
She deserves the sentence since she got it on with the jocks who are always getting laid anyway. No nerds or geeks? Life in prison. Lock her up and throw away the key.
Not so old teacher look here. Not in perfect shape, but when I was in HS . . .
