October 6, 2013A high school teacher whose baby is fathered by one of her 16-year-old students pleaded guilty to six sex charges in court today.
Laura Elizabeth Whitehurst, 28, had been charged with 41 counts of sex and oral copulation with a minor in alleged crimes that took place in Redlands, Los Angeles.
Whitehurst admitted having sex with three of her students despite initially pleading not guilty to all charges.
She pleaded guilty to four counts of unlawful sex with a minor and two counts of oral copulation with a minor.
The remaining charges were dismissed during a hearing at San Bernardino Superior Court on Wednesday morning, NBC reports.
She agreed to a sentence of one year in jail, five years of probation and a lifetime registration as a sex offender and sex offender counseling.
Whitehurst was arrested earlier this month after the mother of the boy – now 17 – reported their alleged year-long relationship and subsequent birth of their child to police.
The Citrus Valley High student is believed to have been present at the birth. She met him while acting as his adviser at the school.
