PROVO (AP) — A judge has doubled the $5,000 bail for a 27-year-old charged with rape involving a student.

The Daily Herald reports Judge Samuel McVey called former Landmark High School teacher Sarah Lewis a danger to society and increased her bail to $10,000 cash.

Attorney Mark Woodbury had argued his client is unemployed and couldn't pay the original bail amount.

Utah County deputy attorney Craig Johnson played a recording in court of Lewis telling an officer that it was a one-time occurrence and she was drunk.

Police reports say a 17-year-old boy used his phone to record his encounter with Lewis at her home and sent the recording to some friends.

Johnson said the boy has been bullied and marked as a snitch.

Lewis is expected in court Feb. 13.
