A shocking report from Canton, Ohio reveals that a high school teacher is set to spend 30 days in prison due to accusations of having had physical intercourse with three of her students.
The 36-year-old Tiffany Eichler was immediately fired from the educational institution and made an official apology to all students of the Canton school district and the people close to her, shortly before showing up in the courtroom to hear out her sentence on Tuesday, June 19.
Besides spending some jail time, Eichler is also required to cover a 30-day reporting program when she is out of prison.
Her probation is set to last for three years, and she has to visit a counsel. Furthermore, the ex-educator has been sentenced to 300 hours of community service.
If by any chance the probation period is violated, the sentence will be increased to an additional five years behind bars.
According to information issued by the prosecutors of the case, the former teacher is said to have been intimate with two students aged 18 and one that was 17 years old in February. Apparently, for one of the inappropriate meetings, Eichler even used one of the classrooms at the Canton McKinley High School where she was teaching at the time.
When showing up in court in May, Eichler confessed to being guilty of all of the three cases of sexual misconduct.
As a result of her wrongdoings, Eichler has suffered not only a public disgrace but also lost her career as a teacher. For the time being, the lawyer of the former high school physical education teacher is pleading for a shorter sentence.
Some people in the area are not happy about the judge’s decision and believe that the former teacher deserved a harsher punishment, a way to also discourage others in the same position.
The story has caused a lot of chatter in the area.
