Mississippi School Worker Sex Case

(Jackson, Mississippi) In February 2009, a former employee at Madison Central High School, Kelly Bozeman, was indicted on charges of sexual battery of a 17-year-old male student.

The indictment followed an investigation by the Madison Police Department which was prompted by the victim's friends alerting the school principal.

Bozeman, who was a detention monitor at the school, is accused of allegedly sending sexually explicit text messages to a 17-year-old male student last October and performing oral sex on him.

An original trial date was canceled to allow for a competency evaluation, the results of which will be discussed today at a hearing. If Bozeman, 42, is found to be competent, a new trial date will be scheduled.


[Update 8/25/09]

Kelly Bozeman pleaded guilty Monday to sexual battery after it was reported that she was competent to stand trial. Sentencing has been scheduled for November 9. If convicted, Bozeman reportedly faces a possible 30 years in prison. Frankly, I think she'll get probation.
