[Update 3/2/05] According to this report, Hockett was convicted of one count of sexual assault and sentenced to 180 days in jail and fined $10,000. Judge Debbie Mantooth Stricklin added several probation conditions, including no Internet or teaching for 10 years, no contact with the former student, and registration as a sex offender. She could have received as much as 20 years in prison. Personally, after hearing she took a 15-year-old special education student with mentality of a first-grader and plied him with booze and marijuana in order to molest him, I thought she got off with a light sentence. Turn things around and imagine what a male teacher would have received for taking a 15-year-old female student with the mentality of a first-grader and given her booze and dope to have sex. The male teacher would never get out of prison. Hockett got a hand slap.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, former Olympic High School English teacher Nicole Pomerleau, 31, pleaded guilty to taking indecent liberties with a 16-year-old student. She was sentenced to probation, 60 hours of community service, and she must surrender her teacher's license. She won't be required to register as a sex offender.

Adding to the mess Pomerleau has created is the fact that she is married with two children, ages 7 and 10.
