Holt was sentenced to 10 years -- the minimum allowed by law. There's also six months of home confinement after release. Then there was a horrifying two years of probation. Oh yeah, and registration as a sex offender. (See Jan 24 - minimum mandatory was applicable.)
Jan 22, 2007 - Rachel Holt, 35, a Claymont Elementary School teacher, accused of having sex with one of her pupils nearly 30 times last year pleaded guilty today to a single count of second-degree rape.
Holt was arrested in April after the father of a 13-year-old boy reported overhearing telephone calls between Holt and his son. Sentencing is set for March 16.
Full name: Rachael L. Holt
Jan 24 - The Journal Register reports: Following her appearance in court Monday, Holt was returned to the custody of the state Department of Corrections, as is the procedure when a defendant pleads guilty and a minimum mandatory sentence is applicable.
Just how despicable she was:
According to documents, Holt knew the boy’s father would disapprove of his son spending the night at her residence. She told authorities she telephoned the father’s girlfriend and facilitated the sleepover by pretending to be the mother of another youth.Records also state that Holt told investigators that on one occasion, another student watched as she and the teen victim had sex.
Mar 16 - Holt was sentenced to 10 years, followed by 60 days of home confinement and two years of probation. She will also have to register as a sex offender.
