A married middle-school English teacher and cheerleading coach will serve six years in prison after she pleaded guilty to having sex multiple times with a 15-year-old student while she was pregnant.
Katherine Ruth Harper, 28, was arrested in April last year and charged with having an improper relationship with a student in Trophy Club, Texas, a wealthy suburb northwest of Dallas.
She pleaded guilty to one court of sexual assault and one count of having an improper relationship with a student, the Denton County District Attorney's Office said, the Daily Mail reports.
After her prison sentence, Harper will be placed on 10 years' probation. She will also be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.
Harper, a seventh-grade teacher at John M Tidwell Middle School, traded several nude photos with the boy by cellphone, according to the Star-Telegram.
