Teacher who fled to Mexico with 13-year-old gets 6 years
A former Omaha, Nebraska teacher who high tailed it south of the border with her 13-year-old lover has been returned to the United States and sentenced to 6 years in prison. That’s it? Wonder what the sentence would have been if the genders were reversed.
Kelsey Peterson, 26, had pleaded guilty in July to a charge of transporting a minor across state lines to have sex and avoided a similar charge that would have carried a mandatory 10-year minimum sentence.
She will be credited for time served but will not be eligible for parole.
The guilty plea does not mean Peterson is off the hook on Nebraska state charges, which include kidnapping and first-degree sexual assault. Her attorney said he hoped those charges will be dropped.
