- Witt pleaded guilty in March to one count of a school employee engaging in a sex act with a student
- Judge earlier dismissed charges against Witt after she argued law barring school staff from having sex with a student under 19 years old was unconstitutional
- Witt claimed her relationships with two students, ages 17 and 18, were consensual, and the 2010 law violated her right to privacy
- Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals later reversed ruling and reinstated charges against Witt
- In court on Thursday, Witt apologized and said she felt ashamed; she will spend just 18 months in state prison
Witt claimed that she was in a consensual relationship with the students, and that she was only prosecuted for being a school employee, which violated her 14th Amendment right to privacy and equal protection.
