She is still married by the way.
A former guidance counselor has been sentenced to two years behind bars for having sex with a male student – even though his parents asked a judge not to send her to prison.
Mackenzie Land Matthews, a 34-year-old married mother who resigned from her job at Heath High School two months ago, wept at the sentencing hearing in Licking County, Ohio on Tuesday.
She had pleaded guilty to having sex with an 18-year-old student she met at the school. Even though the contact was consensual, it is a crime for a teacher to have sex with a student in Ohio.
