## Summary

A 29-year-old former Kentucky teacher, Rachel Clement, has pleaded guilty to three charges after being accused of sending explicit messages to a 14-year-old pupil. Under the reported plea deal, she is barred from teaching in the United States, must register as a sex offender and may not contact the pupil.

Prosecutors amended the charges to two counts of first-degree sexual abuse involving a position of trust and one count of tampering with evidence; an earlier sexual abuse charge was dropped. The prosecutor recommended concurrent prison terms of three years for each abuse charge and five years for evidence tampering, but the judge will decide the sentence. Clement is due to be sentenced on 4 January.
