HENDERSON \u2013 A former Henderson ISD teacher was sentenced to six months in state jail and 10 years in probation after she pleaded guilty to an improper relationship with a student. According to our news partner KETK, Kathryn Prior, of Henderson, was arrested in December 2024 for having an inappropriate relationship with a student. The former vocational agriculture education teacher was also charged with possession of child pornography and indecency with a child.<\/p>\n
According to the Rusk County District Attorney\u2019s Office, Prior\u2019s guilty plea allowed her not to be convicted of the indecency charge, but it was taken into consideration for her sentencing. Prior\u2019s child pornography charge was dropped and First Assistant Prosecutor Allen Ross said they \u201ccouldn\u2019t move forward with that case.\u201d As a part of the plea deal, Prior had to surrender her teaching license.<\/p>\n
Prior\u2019s 180 days in jail begin on March 30 with 10 years in probation to follow. If Prior violates her probation, she will serve the 10 years in state jail, Ross said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
