A former Tempe teacher was sentenced to lifetime probation and must register as a sex offender in connection with the sexual exploitation of a 13-year-old student.

Kara Loofborough, 27, was sentenced Thursday in Maricopa County Superior Court. She pleaded guilty in November to two charges, including the sexual exploitation of a minor and luring a minor for sexual exploitation.

The crimes at issue occurred in March, while Loofborough was a teacher at Fees College Preparatory Middle School.

Police were alerted by the boy's father, who was concerned about conversations his son was having with his teacher.

Loofborough was arrested in April. Police at the time said she confessed to showing her genitalia to a 13-year-old child while video chatting, and allowed him to kiss and touch her breasts during an in-person encounter.
