Michigan Tutor Sentenced to 15 Years for Recording Sexual Abuse of 16-Year-Old Student

A 27-year-old Michigan tutor pleaded guilty to third-degree sexual conduct after admitting she had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student she was tutoring in 2023. The educator filmed the abuse and was arrested following a confession to a colleague in 2025. At sentencing, the judge condemned her decision to record the act, calling it “disgusting” and “serious risk-taking behaviour.” Her defence lawyers cited mental health struggles, describing the incident as an “error of judgment.” Meanwhile, the student’s mother detailed the lasting trauma: her son has become withdrawn, moved to online schooling and lost his sense of security. After serving 15 years, the former teacher will remain on Michigan’s sexual offender registry for life.
