Teacher Susan Clickner Sentenced

(Lowell, Massachusetts) In the summer of 2005, 46-year-old eighth-grade science teacher at Blanchard Middle School, Susan Clickner, was arrested and charged with statutory rape of 14-year-old boy. She pleaded not guilty to statutory rape and was released on bail.

Clickner allegedly lured the 14-year-old into the back seat of her car and molested him April 2005. Subsequently, the boy told his parents who alerted police.

The case against Clickner came to conclusion yesterday.

From Lowell Sun:

A former Westford school teacher is headed to jail after she pleaded guilty in Lowell Superior Court this morning to raping a 14-year-old male student in the backseat of her car last April.

Susan Clickner, 47, of Groton, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail, with 18 months to serve, followed by five years probation after she admitted that during the 2004-2005 school year she had sex with one of her science students, an eighth-grader at the Blanchard Middle School in Westford.

Judge Kenneth Fishman ordered Clickner to register as a sex offender and also barred her from teaching.
