Former Warren County school teacher Pamela Rogers pleaded guilty this morning to two additional charges accusing her of sending explicit pictures to a 13-year-old boy who she had previously been convicted of having a sexual relationship with.
Rogers, 29, pleaded guilty two counts of solicitation of sexual exploitation of a minor for sending nude photos to the boy while she was out of jail on probation.
At the time, she was free after serving about six months of an eight-year sentence.
The photographs led to a revocation of Rogers' probation.
She is being held at the Tennessee Prison for Women.
As a result of her plea, Rogers was sentenced to two additional years for each count. Those sentences will run simultaneously after the conclusion of her eight year sentence.
Rogers will be eligible for parole in 2008 on the eight year sentence. She will have to serve at least 30 percent of the new sentences and her attorney calculated that she could still be released sometime next year.
Under the deal, two additional counts she was facing have been dismissed and Rogers agreed to drop an appeal of her earlier sentence.
Rogers, dressed in a black and white striped prison outfit with her hair pulled back into a pony tail, said nothing aside from responding to the judge. The hearing lasted less than 15 minutes.
