FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) -- A former teacher has been sentenced in Franklin on a plea bargain in a sex case.
The Circuit Court Clerk's office confirmed Heather Lee Thorsby entered guilty pleas on Monday to three counts of statutory rape by an authority figure and 2 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure.
Thorsby was an art teacher at Independence High School and was charged with having sex with a student, who was a minor. She was suspended from her job in May 2007.
Thorsby was sentenced on Monday to three years in prison and waived probation.
The court ordered her to report to prison on Aug. 20.
