A former Burley High School teacher has been sentenced to up to 12 years in prison for having a sexual relationship with an underage student.
Chad Burnett pleaded guilty in June to two counts of sexual battery against a minor child and violating a no-contact order. The 28-year-old also was ordered to pay restitution and a $5,000 civil penalty to the 17-year-old girl.
Prosecutors say Burnett groomed the victim starting when she was 14 and manipulated her once he forged a relationship with her. (AP)
