Daily Mail– A high school teacher has admitted to having sex with her 17-year-old student.Â
Jennifer McCullum, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of sexual battery for having sexual intercourse with a minor while in a position of authority.Â
The mother has been sentenced to five years of probation on top of five days in jail she already served last year.
All the incidents occurred off the Petal High School premises in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, District Superintendent John Buchanan said.
McCullum was indicted by a Forrest County grand jury in May, 2010.
According to her indictment, the intercourse occurred between November 1, 2009, and January, 13, 2010, reports The Hattiesburg American.
Mr Buchanan said in the report that the teacher was suspended after the district were informed about the allegations and an investigation was launched.
‘Once there was sufficient evidence to corroborate the claim (McCullum’s) contract was terminated,’ he told the American.
He added that school district also succeeded in having her teaching certification revoked through the Mississippi Department of Education.
McCullum also was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine and a $100 assessment to the Mississippi Crime Victims Compensation Fund.
