Michigan Teacher Gets Prison for Sex with Student - Update

(Bay City, Michigan) Yesterday, former Bay City middle school teacher Sarah M. Raymo, 32, was sentenced by Chief Circuit Judge Kenneth W. Schmidt to serve 7 years and 6 months to 15 years in prison.

Schmidt sentenced Raymo using the higher end of the court's sentencing guidelines due to the nature of the case, he said. After she pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, she knew she would spend at least 57 months behind bars.

"As a teacher, you're placed in a position of trust over your students," Schmidt said. "That trust was violated when you elected to freely and willingly have sex with one of your students, no matter what the circumstances were surrounding your acceptance of the fact that you were going to have sex with this young man. The victim has been greatly impacted by this. He switched schools and is seeking therapy."

According to Raymo's attorney, she was arrested late Tuesday at her home.

He claims his client knew nothing of the accusations against her.
