Ohio Teacher Gets No Jail in Student Sex Case

(Saline, Ohio) A 29-year-old teacher formerly at Southern Local High School, Heather Duncan, has been convicted of engaging in sex with a 15-year-old student.
As part of a plea deal, the 29-year-old entered an Alford Plea, which means she didn't admit guilt.

"I'm happy that the victim's family is pleased with the outcome and that they did not have to go forward with a trial and cause the child more trauma" said assistant prosecutor Tim McNicol.
In the end, Duncan was sentenced to three years of community control and ordered to register as a Tier I sex offender for 15 years.
