Former Ohio teacher gets prison for sex with teen who 'looked and acted' like ex-husband

An Ohio teacher who confessed to having sex with a 17-year-old 
student who “looked and acted” like her ex-husband has been 
sentenced to two years in prison, according to reports.

Laura Bucy, 34, pleaded guilty in June to sexual battery after 
admitting to relatives and police that she had sex with the male 
student at Twinsburg High School and exchanged explicit images 
and videos with him, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.

“You have seriously injured this boy,” the teen’s father said 
during Bucy’s sentencing on Wednesday. “We fear he will never be 
the same. I hope the court sends you to prison.”

Bucy, who had faced up to five years behind bars, must also 
register as a Tier 3 sex offender for the rest of her life. She 
may be eligible for release after just six months, the newspaper 
reported.

Bucy, a family and consumer sciences teacher at the school, 
confessed to her former father-in-law in August 2018 that she 
had sex with the teen in a classroom pantry. Bucy’s ex-husband 
then contacted police a month later, according to a police 
report obtained by the newspaper.

“She made a very strong connection with [redacted],” the report 
read.

Bucy told police she also supplied the teen – who “looked and 
acted” like her ex-husband, according to the police report — 
with liquid to use in his vaping device and allowed him to use 
it in her office, WEWS reported.

Bucy said the encounter took place when she was feeling “very 
overwhelmed with having three kids to care for, working and 
attending college,” Cleveland.com reported.

She has since resigned, surrendered her teaching certificate and 
dropped out of graduate school, according to the Beacon Journal.

The teen victim, meanwhile, was so shaken by the one-time 
encounter with Bucy that he has yet to date anyone since that 
time, his mother said Wednesday.

“He’s supposed to feel safe and protected at school – and you 
took that away from him,” she told Bucy.

The former teacher apologized to the teen’s family, as well as 
her relatives and former coworkers, courtroom video obtained by 
the Beacon Journal shows.

“I am so sorry for the pain that I’ve caused the victim, his 
family, my own family and my colleagues,” Bucy said. “They all 
deserve better and I’m sorry that I allowed this to occur. I 
accept responsibility for my actions, acknowledge that I need 
help and will continue with my psychology therapy. I do not 
believe this incident is a true reflection of who I am and will 
never let it happen again.”
