The epidemic continues and this time, its in Baltimore. After being in the school for just a month, Ekatherine Pappas has been sentenced to three years for skipping class and filming sex with her student.
25-year-old Ekatherine Pappas’ decision to have sex with her student is a decision that will be with her for a lifetime. Pappas was originally sentenced to three years but a judge dropped it down to a year and a day sentence. The ironic thing is that Pappas took a flight to Colombia the very day her warrant was issued back in January.
Police investigated after a sexually explicit video of Pappas and the 16-year-old made its way around the school in January.
“I cannot begin to explain the terror of being notified that my son had been sexually abused and it was on videotape that had been circulated throughout the school for others to see,” the victim’s father said in a statement to the court, adding that his son had not returned to school afterward.
According to the student, he was asked by the teacher to skip class and go over to his house to film the two having sex on two separate occasions.
The boy’s father said his son and family have been affected “in devastating and profound ways.”
“As a young man, this entire ordeal has been extremely confusing for him, just as it would be for any victim that is exposed to sexual activity before they are at a level of maturity,” he said in his statement. “Our home is no longer viewed as a safe environment, since it is the location where the assault took place.”
Pappas will be registered as sex offender for 15 years once her jail time is up.
