Carrie Cabri Witt, who is now 48 years old, will have to serve a year-and-a-half in state prison, another year-and-a-half in the community corrections program, and then the remaining time on probation.
That punishment follows a series of legal battles stretching for well over five years.
Local outlet WAAY 31 says that Witt taught history and psychology. She also coached girls’ golf and JV cheer. She was arrested in 2016 after having sex with a pair of male students. They were 17 and 18 at the time. For nearly two years, she remained on paid administrative leave. Then she resigned.
While the nature of sex scandals, especially involving teachers/students, always has a chance to go national due to their salaciousness, Witt’s case got headlines across the country after a local (now retired) judge said an Alabama law that barred school staff from having sex with students younger than 19 was unconstitutional.
