Colorado Teacher Gets No Jail for Sex with Student - Update

(Englewood, Colorado) Former Englewood High School teacher Alexandra Elizabeth McLean, 28, has pleaded guilty to reduced charges and was sentenced to no jail.

McLean was originally charged with two Class 3 felony counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of authority. In accordance with a plea agreement, McLean pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual assault and misdemeanor official misconduct.

18th Judicial District Judge Marilyn Antrim sentenced McLean to two years deferred judgment on the sexual assault charge, in anticipation of dismissal, and two years probation for official misconduct.

Presumably, the no-jail sentence resulted because "McLean had been extremely truthful and remorseful" and an evaluation determined that no psychosexual treatment was necessary.

McLean was ordered to register as a sex offender.
