She had also pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors: assisting a student in obtaining a grade by fraudulent means and giving alcohol to someone under age 21.

As part of a plea agreement, six counts of committing a sexual offense with a student at the same school were reduced to taking indecent liberties. 

The offenses occurred between October, 2013, and January, 2014, but not on school property.  

The incidents only come to light after Macemore told another student. Word reached the principal and contacted the sheriff's department.
