Texas Teacher Improper with Student

(Lumberton, Texas) In February 2005, a former teacher at Lumberton High School, Kathy Denise White, was indicted by a Hardin County grand jury for felony improper relationship with a student.

It's alleged that White engaged in sex with the young man at her home and at Lumberton High School. She was also accused of threatening the student about his grades.

After more than two years without any action, there's finally a development in the case. Forty-one-year-old White has a court appearance scheduled for August 29th when a plea is expected to be entered and a trial date set.

White faces two counts of engaging in an improper relationship between a teacher and a student. If convicted, she could face several decades in prison.

Ha, ha! Kidding aside, she's a woman and the student was 17 or 18 at the time of the improper relations. Therefore, I boldly predict that she will plea bargain down to a misdemeanor of some sort and get probation.

White accepts plea deal, gets probation.
