A plea deal is in the works for a former Rochester High School teacher charged with sex and drug crimes involving students.

According to Oakland County Circuit Court records, a plea/settlement is being discussed for the case involving Kathryn Houghtaling, 27, who allegedly had sex with two students and gave one of them Xanax in December 2018.

The alleged victims were 16 or 17 at the time of the alleged criminal activity, which did not occur on school property.
