Teacher Gets 10 Years in Prison for Sex With 13-Year-Old Boy - Rachel L. Holt

In a move that could really shock the educational community, a female teacher who had sex with an underage boy finally got the maximum sentence by a judge: 10 years. The attorney for Rachel L. Holt claims the had examples of 40 cases of similar situations were teachers received much lighter sentences: 6 to 18 months on average. But that didn't help Ms. Holt out, as the judge claims she never had any remorse over her actions and still blames everyone else for her actions . . . which apparently including having sex with a 13-year-old boy more than 15 times, giving him booze and letting him drive her car. Here's more from the Kansas City Channel:

Holt was initially charged with 28 counts of first-degree rape. Police
accused her of having illegal sexual intercourse with the boy at least that many times during an intense weeklong affair. She was also accused of plying the boy with alcohol and allowing him to drive her car.
Holt pleaded guilty to second-degree rape, and the 10-year sentence was the mandatory minimum. Deputy Attorney General Jim Kriner asked Superior Court Judge Calvin L. Scott to give Holt the maximum sentence of 25 years. Scott made no comment when he read the sentence.
Holt's attorney, John S. Malik, said both female and male teachers have received far less prison time for similar crimes. He reviewed 40 such cases around the country and found that the average sentence was 18 months to two years.
Among those cases: Dion Savage, a Dover music teacher who admitted a sexual encounter with a male student and was caught with lewd photos of other students, received a two-year sentence.
Kriner said Holt showed no remorse in interviews with pre-sentence officials. "She blames everyone but herself," Kriner said, including her victim and his parents.
