Teacher Guilty of Sodomizing Student

(McMinnville, Oregon) Last October, 38-year-old art and science teacher at Sheridan High School, Adrienne Lee Raymond, was arrested and charged with six counts of third-degree sex abuse for having multiple sexual relations with a 15-year-old male student.

On Thursday, Raymond pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree sex abuse and one count of third-degree sodomy before Circuit Judge John Collins. Sentencing is scheduled for May 26.

Although the judge has the ability to sentence Raymond to a much as five years in prison, the prosecution and defense have recommended no incarceration. Consequently, it's expected that Judge Collins will not give the divorced mother of two any jail time.

Raymond sentenced to four months in jail and five years probation. Apparently, punishment was lenient since she was sexually abused as a child and suffered from alcoholism. I'd guess that a 39-year-old male teacher found guilty of grooming a 15-year-old girl for sex would have received harsher punishment. With or without a sob story.
