Inappropriate: Powell told police the relationships began when she was intoxicated and sent a text to the students
[From article]
A 25-year-old former math teacher who had sexual contact with two students at a Tacoma high school has been sentenced to six months in jail.
The News Tribune reports that former Lincoln High School teacher Meredith Powell cried and apologized Friday in court.
Pierce County Superior Court Judge Frank Cuthbertson says he believes Powell is remorseful, which is why he suspended all but six months of a five-year sentence and ordered her into a sex offender program open to first-time offenders.
[. . .]
Powell was arrested in February after being accused of having sexual contact with several students. She later admitted she'd engaged in sex acts with two boys between the ages of 14 and 16. Both were students at Lincoln High School.
She told police she had performed sex acts with multiple students, one as young as 15 years old, inside her locked classroom, as well as sending them sexualized pictures of herself.
She resigned and surrendered her teaching certificate shortly after her arrest.
