McMINNVILLE, Tenn. -- A former teacher serving an eight-year prison sentence for having sex with a 13-year-old student agreed Wednesday to serve two more years for sending him nude photos of herself.
Pamela Rogers pleaded guilty to two counts of solicitation of sexual exploitation of a minor. She admitted sending the photos, and investigators allege she also received photos and videos from the boy, now 15.
"She had become obsessed with him," her lawyer, Peter Strianse said."I think she is over that."
Rogers, 29, was arrested in February 2005 and pleaded no contest to having sexual intercourse and oral sex with the student. A judge suspended most of her eight-year sentence on the condition that she not contact the student or his family or use the Internet.
Six months ago, Circuit Judge Bart Stanley ordered Rogers to serve the rest of the sentence after she sent the photos to the boy, and prosecutors brought the new charges. The new sentence was added to the first term for a 10-year total.
A clinical psychologist hired by Rogers' family testified in July that Rogers was a sex addict. Rogers was married when the relationship with the boy began but has divorced.
McMinnville, a town of about 13,000, is about 65 miles southeast of Nashville.
