Former 'teacher of the year' gets 38 years in prison

A female teacher found guilty of having sex with a 12-year-old student has been sentenced to 38 years in prison today. Married mother Ethel Anderson, 31, was told she was a 'parents' worst nightmare,' on Monday as she was jailed in Tampa, Florida. [...]

Anderson had denied the charges but her victim, now 14, took the stand in September to testify that the alleged abuse started four or five weeks into their tutoring sessions when she would kiss him and perform oral sex on him in her home. He told the court: 'I felt like she was a girlfriend, I loved her and she said that I was her boyfriend and she loved me.'

'She would rub on my legs, kiss on my ears, neck and stuff like that... We would tongue kiss.' The former 'teacher of the year', from Riverside, Florida, who has a six-year-old child, told the judge today she is not a sexual predator and not a risk to society according to Fox. But the boy's mother showed no signs of forgiveness.
