Washington Substitute Teacher Jailed 15 Years for Abusing 13-Year-Old Student

A 26-year-old former substitute teacher in Warden, Washington, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to repeatedly sexually abusing a 13-year-old student and recording the encounters. Prosecutors said the abuse began in February 2021 and continued until July 2022. They said she also sent the boy sexually explicit images and allegedly used gifts to manipulate him. The family reported the matter to police after becoming concerned about the relationship. In court, the boy said the abuse stole parts of his childhood. His family described the emotional harm he suffered, while prosecutors argued that the teacher knew her conduct was wrong. The case has renewed calls for equal protection and support for child-abuse victims, regardless of gender.
