MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A former New Brighton Area teacher accused of having sex with two of her students last year was sentenced to one year probation.
Tiffany Leiseth, of Moon, was sentenced Monday on charges she furnished alcohol to minors and sent photos of herself to two 18-year-old students.
Prosecutors withdrew one count of institutional sexual assault, a third-degree felony, in exchange for the plea.
Leiseth’s teacher’s license was also revoked by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
According to police, Leiseth sent nude photos of herself to the two students days before graduation in June. The students, both 18 years old, told police they also had sex with her at her home in Moon Township.
Police said on the last day of school, the English teacher invited one of the students over and gave him beer. The next day, police said a second victim went to Leiseth's home and they had sex. The teenager told police Leiseth told him not to tell anyone.
The seniors hadn't graduated yet even though they were done with school. Police said that's why Leiseth was charged with institutional sexual assault.
