Teacher's Aide Gets Prison for Sex with Boy

(Great Falls, Montana) In July 2005, middle school teacher's aide with the Great Falls School District, Michele Evonne Malady, now 42, was arrested for allegedly raping a 14-year-old boy. According to police, Malady's victim was a friend of her children and not a student she met at school. The relationship was exposed after Malady's husband notified police that he heard his wife and the boy having sex.

This week, District Judge Kenneth Neil sentenced Michele Malady to seven years in prison with five years suspended. Judge Neil also ordered Malady to attend sex offender treatment.

According to Malady's defense attorney, she has bipolar disorder.
