Michelle Preston, ex-Shawnee Mission West teacher, must register as sex offender, gets probation
Michelle Preston, the former Shawnee Mission West teacher accused of having sexual encounters with students, won’t be getting prison time. Preston, 28, was sentenced Friday to three years’ probation and must register as a sex offender, according to KCTV 5.
Preston reportedly cut a plea deal with the prosecution, and she avoided prison time – even though that’s typically the end result in similar cases in Kansas. She had pleaded guilty in April to having sexual contact with three students. Preston admitted having sex with the students multiple times (KCTV 5 says 15 times), and semen from one of the boys was found on a couch cushion in Preston’s home.
