A married high school teacher has been jailed after seducing one of her students and meeting up for sex with them during the summer break.

Brandi Lynn Vaughn, 25, formerly known as Brandi Whittaker, of Richmond, Kentucky was accused of rape, sexual abuse and sodomy.

It came after she met the 16-year-old male in Fort Boonesborough State Park in June and at her home in July 2015 for sex.

However, her lawyer was able to negotiate a plea bargain, and she admitted one count of using an electronic device to induce a minor to engage in sexual activities and sentenced to one year in jail.

The six other Class D felony charges against Vaughn were then dismissed by the judge.

Among them were two counts of first-degree sexual abuse; two counts of third-degree sodomy; one count of third-degree rape and one count of evidence tampering.

Vaughan had started teaching at Madison Southern High School at the beginning of the 2015/15 school year.

According to her LinkedIn profile, she was once a youth program volunteer for the Berea Baptist Church.

And social media posts shows the church hosted a wedding shower for her in March 2013.

However, the teacher, who taught biology as well as anatomy and physiology, was arrested in August 2015.

The Richmond Register reports the teacher confessed to investigators to having sex with the then-16-year-old male student twice, according to the Berea Police Department.

The age of consent in Kentucky is 16, though rape, sexual abuse and sodomy laws still apply if the alleged victim is under 18 and the person was in a position of authority.
