Teacher admits sex with 16-year-old boy in sweetheart deal as splits from hubby

A Washington teacher has admitted having sex with a 16-year-old boy in a sweetheart deal that drastically cuts any time behind bars — as it emerged she is divorcing her husband, who first exposed her twisted behavior.
Mackenzie Naught, 25, had faced five years in prison after being charged with sexual misconduct with a minor for romping with the teen from a neighboring school in her truck — soon after she started her job teaching first grade at St. John Elementary School.
But the now-fired teacher pleaded guilty Friday in a deal that means she now faces a maximum of 12 months in county jail, the Moscow-Pullman Daily News reported.

Whitman County senior deputy prosecutor Tessa Scholl defended the deal, saying the teacher’s admission “represents an important step in holding her accountable for her actions and spares [the victim] the burden of having to testify at trial.”
She was exposed when her husband, an assistant track coach at the high school where the teen studied, reported her to police after she admitted her behavior with the boy.
