I don’t think this is going to help her case, but Brianne Altice is trying to get her jail sentence reduced by letting the judge know having sex with her students helped their grades.
I kid you not.
Brianne Altice, 36 was sent to jail after she admitted to having sexual relations with 3 of her students. She was given a lengthy sentence of 2 to 30 years in prison during a high profile trial.
Altice pleaded guilty to sexual abuse charges stemming from allegations that she had sex with three students ages 16 and 17 in 2013.
Recently Altice has defended her relationship with one of the students by saying that his grades improved with a little help from her.
She said the boy had come to her for advice on his difficult relationship with his parents, and described how he would stand up for her in school by “thwart[ing] inappropriate comments directed at her”.
“Ms. Altice expressed and advised [the boy] to communicate with his parents and continue to do his best in school,” the teacher wrote, adding the boy’s grades showed improvement while she was his teacher.
“Prior to the 2012-2013 school year, (the victim’s) attendance and school behavior was a problem causing low grades and suspensions from school,” Altice wrote on on loose leaf paper, because she says she cannot afford an attorney. “(The victim’s) attendance, grades, and behavior improved during his 2012-2013 school year, allowing him to meet his goal to graduate a semester early.”
You can flip the pages the note the teacher wrote the judge and more from her case.
