A former Idaho schoolteacher was sentenced to prison time for s*xual battery and r@pe of a minor who was adopted out of the foster system by a local family just days before she assaulted him.
Jessica Lawson, 36, accepted a plea deal for felony s*xual battery and charges of felony r@pe of a minor.
She previously faced charges of felony delivery of a controlled substance and misdemeanour dispensing alcohol to a minor for allegedly giving the 16-year-old boy marijuana and alcohol, but those were dropped as part of the deal.
Lawson — who taught at South Fremont High School from August 2021 through June 2023 — will face two to 20 years in prison and will have to register as a s*x offender, along with attending sex offender treatment. There will also be a no-contact order in place against the victim for 20 years.
