A teacher who was disgraced for sleeping with a pupil every day for 6 months might see herself land in prison.
According to reports, 24-year-old Mary Beth Haglin confessed having s*x with 17-year-old pupil almost every day for six months and sending him raunchy selfies to turn him on.
One image included her stripped to black underwear and leaning seductively against a wall. However, the busty brunette has said she was seduced by the student.
However, she has been found guilty of sexually exploiting the student and she could be jailed for two years when sentenced in February.
Haglin told millions of viewers of TV programmes such as the Dr. Phil Show that the teen swept her off her feet after coming on strong and wooing her with handwritten notes and texts.
Haglin said: “He did so with such intelligence and such an elevated vocabulary that I was completely duped by the whole facade.”
She was sacked as a supply teacher at Washington High School, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was arrested after turning herself in to police in July. She said “he caught me in my weakest moments, and he used that to his advantage.
“I did ignore a lot of that at first because obviously, I knew that it was illegal, not allowed, frowned upon - everything.”
Haglin told TV’s Dr. Phil in October: “We had s*x - almost daily - in his car, my car, his mom’s house, and his dad’s house.”
She said she tried to end the affair but claimed the pupil threatened to expose her if she tried to leave him.
She added: “When things got way out of control, and I wanted out, he began saying ‘I will light a match and burn your life down.’”
She will be sentenced on February 17. She could be jailed for a maximum of two years or fined up to $6,250. She must also register for 10 years as a s*x offender.
