KY - Michelle Kush for student sex abuse, Fort Mitchell, 2005

A substitute teacher is facing rape charges for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old boy, police said.

Michelle Kush, 29, of Fort Mitchell, Ky., was arrested Friday afternoon and charged with two counts of third-degree rape and one count of third-degree sodomy.

Similar charges could be filed in Kenton County, as well as possible charges of unlawful transaction with a minor for providing alcohol to students, police said.

Right now, Kush, who's from Fort Mitchell, faces two counts of rape and one sodomy count.

But she's expected to face more charges in Kenton County for similar acts and possibly two more charges in Boone County for giving alcohol to minors.

None of the incidents happened on school property, police said.

Police say Kush substitutes at schools throughout Northern Kentucky.

In June 2006, the now 30-year-old divorced mother of two pleaded guilty to two counts of statutory rape, a count of statutory sodomy, and four counts of unlawful transaction with a minor. Kush admitted that she engaged in sex with the boy on at least three occasions and also provided him and his friends with alcohol.

Today, Boone Circuit Judge Tony Frohlich sentenced Kush to 60 days in jail, 30 days on house arrest and five years probation. The judge also ordered her to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.

Sixty days in jail for rape and sodomy convictions seems fairly lenient. I guess the court was sympathetic.

BBM. Another female sex offender walks away with a slap on the wrist.
