Kathryn Ronk, 30, appeared stunned as deputies led her from the Oakland County Courthouse Tuesday after her sentencing, The Detroit News reports. Ronk pleaded guilty last month to two reduced charges of criminal sexual conduct with a boy, a sophomore at Bishop Foley High School in Madison Heights, where she was a Spanish teacher until the boy's parents filed a complaint and the school fired her.

The sentencing agreement reached when she entered her plea called for anywhere from no prison time and 15 years behind bars. " ... Because it is a woman, there seems to be a winking about what happened." – Circuit Judge Nanci Grant

Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Nanci Grant exceeded state sentencing guidelines that recommended 51-85 months, saying Ronk is a "very smart" and "intelligent woman" who should have known that sex with a student was wrong.

Was the sentence too harsh, not harsh enough or just about right? When Ronk tearfully apologized to the victim and his family, the school and the community, and her family and husband, Grant said she welcomed her remorse, but wasn't swayed. Grant said she received a flurry of letters urging leniency that offered no consideration for the victim. "I have never seen letters of support for a defendant with nothing about the victim," Grant said. "They were all about you and what you were going through. Poor you. To ignore a crime and a victim and an ongoing involvement in school, outside school, in a car. You did something you shouldn't have done."
