After her sentence is over, she will have to register as a tier three sex offender every three months for the rest of her life.
Johnson pleaded guilty in Oct. to two counts of sexual battery after an investigation found that she had a relationship with a minor while she was employed at Bloom-Vernon Schools.
“There’s one last lesson to be learned from this former teacher – students are not targets for sexual relationships,” Yost said. “She destroyed her career, family and reputation for the thrill of an affair, without bothering to think about the consequences.”
