Police were notified on May 3, 2021 and the teacher left the I work the same day, explains the “New York Post”.

“We found out he was in the car with the victim, and he drove off from there,” Butler County District Attorney Mike Gosmer said. In addition to the victim’s testimony, the authorities have records in which the 30-year-old pleads with the teenager not to report her. Ashley Rison, who has worked for district schools since 2015, faces up to 5 years in prison and will likely have to be registered on the sex offender registry.

Allegations of tampering with evidence and providing alcohol to a minor who were also against her were eventually dropped. The former teacher will know her sentence on November 16. “All the prosecutors I have known (…) take cases involving teachers and students about sexual behavior very seriously. We are dealing with impressionable young minds and an adult arrives who takes advantage of it, “reacted Mike Gmoser.
