Baird sentenced. But not nearly long enough. Registered Sex Offender. 
Nov 22, 2006 - Leslie Baird, 42, pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree felony forcible sexual abuse in connection with illegal behavior involving a 17-year-old student. The plea agreement dismissed eight other charges that involved two students. She will be sentenced in January.
Apparently, in January, Cameo Patch, a substitute teacher in the district was charged with felony sexual battery involving a Tooele High School student. She pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of sexual battery and is scheduled to be sentenced in September.
UPDATE: Patch got off with probation and a minor fine.
UPDATE: Jan 9 - Scheduled for sentencing, the judge ordered Baird to get therapy for 90 days and then return to court.
Judge Mark Nouris said he had no plans to let her off on probation. "The fact is you're a teacher and when we send children to school you should have the best interest of the student at heart," said Judge Nouris. "But when teachers become predators you undermine that trust."She should be back in court in April.
UPDATE: Apr 17 - Baird was sentenced to to one year in jail and three years of probation.
She was sentenced today to 1 to 15 years in prison for the second-degree felony of having sex with two teenage students. Judge Mark Kouris said in 3rd District Court that he would stay that sentence, and instead imposed a sentence of 1 year in jail and 36 months probation with a number of attached conditions. KLSC reports that she has to register as a sex offender. She is not allowed to have a cell phone.
Baird will also receive sex-offender treatment. She is married and has children.
Baird is the daughter of Grantsville Mayor Byron Anderson. She will be back in court June 19 for a review.
