Teacher Andrea Conners pleads guilty to having sex with teen football player who was one of her students
A high school teacher outside Cincinnati, Ohio, entered a guilty plea, admitting that she had sex with one of her underage students and now faces up to five years in jail.
Andrea Conners, 34, was arrested in May after an affair with a student went public because of small-town gossip.
The teacher worked at Highland High School in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, for eight years. She is married to Brian Conners, the principal of a nearby high school.
Rumors began to swirl in the community even before Conners, a popular teacher, abruptly left her $48,000-per-year job, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
She began her teaching career as an inte at the school in 2004 and taught several business and communications courses.

The school district and authorities have been tight-lipped about the investigation.
Superintendent Gene Kirchner released a statement that didn't mention Conners by name, but said a teacher had resigned after she was confronted with rumors about the relationship.
'Please know that the discretion we have shown in the release of information is a direct result of the ongoing investigation and an effort to protect the rights and privacy of our students,' a letter to parents said.
