The whore should be sterlized and banned from any contact with
children period.

A now-former high school special education teacher and soccer coach,
currently pregnant with her third child, will spend at least a year
behind bars because she engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a
high school student, a judge in Pennsylvania ruled this week.

Emily Lehneis, 30, was originally charged with solicitation to
production of child pornography, unlawful contact with a minor,
obscenity, institutional sexual assault, and corruption of minors,
according to the Southern York Regional Police Department.

In September, as part of a plea agreement, she admitted to one felony
count of school – intercourse/sexual contact with student and one
misdemeanor count of corruption of minors. The state dismissed the
remaining charges. On Dec. 26, she was sentenced to between one and two
years in prison by York County Judge Kathleen J. Prendergast.

“She manipulated me and had total control. She used her marriage, family
and career to keep me from saying anything,” the victim said in an
impact statement read aloud by York County Chief Deputy District
Attorney Taylor Katherman during the sentencing hearing, according to a courtroom report by the York Dispatch.

“I’m trying to get by each day with breathing techniques and trying not
to cry,” the teenage girl’s statement continued.

The defendant directly addressed the victim as well — in a statement
that essayed a certain level of contrition for the relationship.

“I want … her family to know how sorry I am for what I did,” Lehneis
said, according to the paper. “I have no excuse for what I did, and I
cannot understand how I let myself do what I did.”

The charges were the result of a six month investigation into the
illicit relationship, police say. Lehneis was arrested on May 9.

According to the Daily Voice, the woman’s resignation from the Southern
York County School District came earlier: on Jan. 27. Her perhaps final departure from the world of education came a bit later: when she was
suspended from coaching for the nearby South Western School District and simultaneously had her teaching license suspended on Aug. 25 by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

In 2022, well before those repercussions, Lehneis met her teenage girl
victim, who is not being identified. The girl has been described in
local media as a soccer player who was 16 or 17 years old. At the start
of the new school year, the relationship developed. Ultimately, Lehneis
kissed the girl in a classroom and the two exchanged sexually explicit
text messages and images via their phones and on social media, police
said. The defendant privately tutored the girl in soccer.

Lehneis’s defense attorney reportedly argued for leniency and a county
prison sentence in light of his client’s pregnancy. She is due in March.
The judge rejected that line of argument.

The girl’s mother also addressed the court, saying that her daughter was bullied after the relationship — and that the bullying continues.

According to a criminal complaint obtained by York-based Fox affiliate
WPMT, the teacher once put a name tag on an area of the student’s body
near her private parts in a “flirtatious way.”

“[S]he never thought her first kiss would be from a teacher,” the
complaint says.

Around the time when the then-teacher turned 30 years old in October,
she allegedly asked the teenage student to be her “secret girlfriend,”
police alleged. The relationship went on for at least two weeks.
Eventually, the girl told Lehneis what they were doing was wrong.

“Anything that happens to the defendant is based on the behavior she
brought on herself, and is no way based on anything that the victim did
or did not do,” Prendergast said during sentencing, according to the
Dispatch.

Lehneis was also sentenced to five years of probation and will have to
register as a Tier II sex offender. She will not be allowed to have
contact with children other than her own — and until a family court or
parole board issues a decision, those visits must be supervised.
