The lawyers of a teacher who pleaded guilty to having sex with a 14 year old student have successfully reduced her sentence to just three years - having previously argued in court the victim was a “willing participant” to the sexual assaults.
Stephanie Peterson, 27, admitted she had sex with an eighth-grader in her car twice, as well as performing oral sex on him on multiple occasions.
Peterson also admitted to sending the boy racy photos and messages during the illegal interactions between the pair, which happened between November 2017 and January.
In court, she pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious battery sex act with a child and electronic transmission of material harmful to minors.
