A former award-winning teacher has been sentenced to jail over a sexual assault of a student more than a decade ago.

Leah Ruthann Queen, 44, pleaded guilty to having a sexual relationship with a student. Benton County Circuit Judge Brad Karren sentenced Queen to six years of state-supervised probation and 58 days in the Benton County Jail. She was also ordered not to have any contact with the victim.

Queen was a teacher at the Gentry Intermediate School in Arkansas.

Another man bites dog story. This one happened in Benton County, Arkansas. This happens with far more frequency among public schools than Catholic church institutions, but one would never know that by the enemedia buzz.

It happened a bit when I was a kid, in the 60s and 70s. Then, however, the story and the participants just went away.

Not guilty by reason of insanity. Total insanity.

“”the victim claims that when they were 17-years-old Queen befriended them after a basketball game and the two began socializing outside of school hours.””

OK - I’ll bite! What does the PRONOUN “they and them” mean? The victim had multiple personalities?

Poor teacher. If only she had been in a place where they teach predator grooming is normal. I guess her defense that she identifies as a 14 year old just didn't stand up in court.

The article does not say where this occurred. There are Benton counties all over the country. I used tp live in Benton county Oregon.

Back when I was 17, that 500 lb gorilla was driving the car and this is totally understandable. Now the gorilla’s in the back seat and makes me shudder now.

Had a drill sergeant once with eyes like that - no one knew who the heck he was glaring at...

She was a PE teacher. The boy was 17. Stories say she "groomed" him, but many 17-year-old boys wouldn't require much grooming. Oddly, her now-former husband said he'd seen her in bed with the boy on several occasions.

The problem with such guilty assessments is that you need other pics. Some people are in shock and look like crap when an arrest finally goes down. Withholding judgment on this one unless I see another pic.
