BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio -- A former Ohio teacher accused of working as a prostitute on the side has pleaded guilty to solicitation.
Amber Carter of Bellefontaine was sentenced Tuesday to two years' probation and a $250 fine. A municipal court judge suspended her 30-day jail sentence.
Authorities say the 35-year-old advertised sex services online and agreed to meet a man who was working undercover for the Logan County sheriff's office. Police arrested Carter in a motel parking lot Feb. 10, shortly after she took a half-day of sick leave from her fourth-grade teaching job.
Carter has resigned from the Bellefontaine schools and is expected to lose her teaching license.
A message seeking comment was left after business hours Tuesday at the office of Carter's attorney, Michael Streng.
