A pretty blond teacher who seduced and bedded a boy, 17, will skate on a jail sentence.
Wyoming educator Katie Marcus, 35, put the bite on the teen after meeting him at a basketball game, The Cody Enterprise reports.
Marcus became hot and bothered during the hoops game and the teen “he looked good and played good.”
Despite the shocking grammar, the two made arrangements to hook up -- sweetened by topless photos of the tarty teacher sent via Snapchat. Court was told she began inviting him over to her house to do odd-jobs before moving onto jobs of another kind.
She gave the underage youth five or six glasses of wine before moving in for the kill.
“They then went to her bedroom for sex [and] had sex again the same night," court was told.
The young man even snapped photos of the half-naked teacher. Like most teen boys, he couldn’t resist informing pals of his carnal triumph.
The next week they engaged in hormone-charged hijinks again and he was warned "not to tell anyone about them having sex."
The married teacher was busted in August at the Sunset Elementary School where she worked as a special education teacher.
In court, she begged his family for forgiveness and blamed the amorous antics on being depressed and boozing.
And she walked with supervised probation. Judge John Brooks scolded her despite the tap on the wrist.
“Your behaviour here, like you, was narcissistic, selfish and a flagrant disregard for the school district’s rules,” he scolded. “You took advantage of and victimized a young man.”
Katie Marcus received supervised probation after she pleaded guilty to having sex with a minor. (Park County Sheriff Photo)

I thought usually the legal issue with a teacher sleeping with a student was his/her influence over the student. In this case, assuming 17 is above age of consent, the boy was not her student. The charges should have been the same as any adult sleeping with the 17 year old.

Google answered my question. Age of consent in Wyoming is 18 for boys and 16 for girls. Should this have been a male teacher in same situation with 17 year old girl, it would have been perfectly legal. Weird the ages would be different.
