(Deer Park, Texas) Earlier today, married 23-year-old former English teacher at Deer Park High School, Emily Kate Janes, was sentenced. Janes had previously pleaded guilty in June to engaging in sex with a male student.The judge imposed a sentence of four years deferred adjudication.
In substance, the deferred adjudication means that Janes will be on probation for four years and, if she stays out of trouble, the case will be revisited for final resolution. Typically, the final resolution would be dismissal of the charges and sanitizing of the criminal record.
If my understanding is correct, Janes could very well resume her teaching career after completing the probationary period.
Texas Teacher Accused of Sex with Student
[Previous 2/13/08 entry]
(Deer Park, Texas) A married 23-year-old English teacher at Deer Park High School, Emily Kate Janes, has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sex with an 18-year-old male student. An anonymous tip led to an investigation of the relationship.
According to Harris County Assistant District Attorney Denise Oncken, Janes and the student apparently had several intimate sessions at her home. Janes resigned from her teaching position on Monday.
After booking, Janes was released on $30,000 bond. A court appearance is scheduled for March 13.
[Update 6/25/08]
Emily Kate Janes pleaded guilty today to engaging in sex with one of her students. She is scheduled to be sentenced on an unspecified date later this summer.
I believe Janes won't see anything more than probation.
