Ohio Teacher Gets Early Release from Prison in Student Sex Case - Update

(Hamilton County, Ohio)

A former Colerain High School teacher will be allowed to leave prison early.

Judge Norbert Nadel granted Julie Hautzenroeder's request for early release Thursday morning, despite saying she was "irresponsible and stupid."

"I'm taking into consideration you have an 8-year-old daughter which you've been separated from. I indicated what you did was stupid and irresponsible, but I do feel that you've paid some debt to society," Nadel said.[…]

Hautzenroeder was sentenced and reported to prison in December. She was released from the Hamilton County Justice Center on Thursday afternoon.

So, Hautzenroeder's sentence was whittled from two years to six months even though the judge stated she was irresponsible and stupid. Interesting, eh? Frankly, I'd speculate that very few convicts become responsible and smart once awarded early release from prison.

(Hamilton County, Ohio) Former Colerain High School teacher Julie Hautzenroeder, 36, was found guilty by a jury yesterday on one count of sexual battery for having sex with a 16-year-old student.

“You were stupid and irresponsible ... ,” Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Norbert Nadel told the teacher, Julie Hautzenroeder. “It is a very very sad situation.”

Nadel said he will weigh the fact that Hautzenroeder, 36, of Loveland is raising a 7-year-old daughter when he sentences her on Dec. 11. She faces up to five years in prison and is required by law to register as a sex offender.[…]

Prosecutors presented evidence at trial that Hautzenroeder brought two students to her home in May, gave them marijuana, alcohol and then had sex with them while her daughter slept nearby.

Hautzenroeder will remain free on bond until sentencing on December 11.
