A Morton Middle School teacher who was accused of performing oral sex on a 13-year-old student has been sentenced to one to two years in jail.

Amy Nowaczyk, 26, pleaded guilty to amended charges of attempted sexual assault of a child and enticement by electronic device. She originally was charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child, which carried a maximum of life in prison.

The amended charge carries a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison. Douglas County District Judge Marlon Polk decided to give Nowaczyk one to two years on one charge and one year for the other, and he ordered the sentences to run at the same time.

Nowaczyk, who was sentenced on Friday, received credit for one day in jail. Under state sentencing guidelines, which generally cut sentences in half, she will serve about six months in prison and must be released after one year.

Nowaczyk was arrested in April after a 13-year-old boy told investigators that the two had sexual contact several times inside the classroom during the previous eight months.
