Oklahoma Teacher Gets Suspended Sentence - Update

(Tulsa, Oklahoma) English teacher Erin Kathleen Queen has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for engaging in sex with a 17-year-old student. A charge of second-degree rape was dismissed.

As a result, Queen was sentenced in Tulsa County Court to a three-year suspended sentence and ordered to surrender her teaching privileges.

Queen, 30, was an English teacher at Charles Page High School when she and a male student were caught at a Tulsa motel after the boy's parents called police.

She was arrested in March of 2012 and resigned from the high school shortly afterward.

So, Queen walks.
