New York Teacher Gets Prison for Raping Boy - Update

(Orange County, New York) Yesterday, former substitute teacher Lisa Franklin, 45, was sentenced in Orange County Court to 30 months in prison for second-degree rape of a 12-year-old boy.

My guess is that a male teacher committing the same crime would have received 30 years in prison, not 30 months.

(Orange County, New York) A former substitute teacher at the Sacred Heart parochial school, Lisa M. Franklin, pleaded guilty to raping a 13-year-old boy.

In exchange for the plea, she’s expected to get a prison sentence of 2 1/2 years, plus 10 years of post-release supervision by parole. She’ll also be required to register as a sex offender, with a level to be determined after a forensic psychiatric assessment.

The abuse was uncovered when the boy’s parents found inappropriate text messages from Franklin on his cellular phone.[…]

As Senior Assistant District Attorney Michael Milza questioned her, Franklin admitted in court to subjecting the boy to sexual intercourse last year.

Sentencing is scheduled for February 2014.

New York Teacher Accused of Sex with Boy, 12
[Previous 3/15/13 post]
(Orange County, New York) A 44-year-old substitute teacher for Newburgh-area Catholic schools, Lisa M. Franklin, has been accused of engaging in "numerous sex acts in multiple jurisdictions with a New Windsor boy beginning when he was 12 years old."

Franklin faces counts of second-degree rape and first-degree sexual conduct against a child.

The boy's parents realized something was wrong when they found "inappropriate text messages" on his cellphone in February. They brought their concerns to New Windsor cops, who started an investigation with the help of the Orange County Child Abuse Unit and county social services.

They also worked with cops in Warwick and Goshen in addition to State Police and sheriff's deputies because they believe Franklin and the boy, now 13 years old, carried on their relationship in various places across the county.

Franklin was booked into custody at the Orange County Jail and released on $10,000 bail.
