A former Montgomery County, Maryland, teacher has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for engaging in sex acts with an underage middle school student in 2015. Melissa Marie Curtis, 32, pleaded guilty to three counts of third-degree sex offense and will serve 12 months behind bars with the remainder of the sentence suspended.
The charges stem from incidents that occurred when Curtis was a teacher at Lakelands Park Middle School and the victim was a 14-year-old student. The sexual assaults took place over several months in various locations, including the school, Curtis' car, and her mother's house in Montgomery County.
