Janelle Marie Bird, 25, Ex-FLorida Teacher Sentenced to 2 years prison for Sex with a student
Former school teacher, 25 year old Janelle Marie Bird who had previously been found guilty of “two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor and two lesser counts of unnatural and lascivious act” was sentenced to two years in prison. Seems like a much different sentence than also convicted teacher, Debra LaFave
Bird admitted having a relationship with a 15-year-old boy at East Hill Christian School. Both testified during the trial that they loved each other.
Defense attorney Jerry Allred had asked that Bird be placed on probation and serve no time in prison. A telephone message left at his office after business hours was not returned.
As a result of her conviction, Bird must register as a sex offender with local authorities wherever she lives for the rest of her life. (AP)
