Teacher Gets Prison for Sex with Boy

(Rockland, Maine) In January 2006, 33-year-old married teacher, Amy Bramhall, was arrested and charged with sexual abuse for allegedly engaging in sexual relations with a 15-year-old student.

Court documents indicate that the relationship with the boy, which lasted for nearly a year, involved 200 episodes of sex. Bramhall was booked and released on $200 bail.

In the latest development, Bramhall pleaded guilty and was sentenced yesterday.

A former Rockland High School teacher's aide was sentenced Wednesday for sexually abusing a minor. Amy Bramhall, who was 33 at the time of her arrest back in January, ended up pleading guilty to the charge.

Bramhall was caught after police set up a sting in which her accuser, a teenage boy, recorded several phone conversations with her.

It's not known what is on the tape of her conversation, but it was sufficient to produce a quick conviction. Bramhall was sentenced to three and one-half years in prison with all but a year suspended. Afterward, she'll serve four years probation.

No information has been reported regarding whether Bramhall will keep her teaching credentials or be required to register as a sex offender.
