A former Georgia teacher who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting her student appeared to blame the teenage victim in court for roping her in like a used car salesman, PEOPLE confirms.
Therese Gunn, 54, confessed Friday to having a sexual relationship with a student who was 17, Karen West, Managing District Attorney at the Gwinnett County District Attorneys Office, tells PEOPLE. The ex-orchestra teacher apologized for her actions before telling a judge the teen had coerced her.
He was like a used car salesman, Gunn said.
Gunn was sentenced to 90 days in prison and up to 10 years of probation, West says.
She taught at South Gwinnett High School for 25 years before she was arrested in May 2016, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The victims mother alerted authorities after reading her sons journal, which highlighted the sexual encounters that occurred for several months at the school, a park and the teachers home, the Gwinnett County Police Department said in a statement.
Gunn had turned herself in to authorities and later resigned from her teaching position.
Speaking in court, the victim said Gunn made [his] adolescence hell.

Yes, but how typical is this case (assuming she's telling the truth).
Most of these abuse stories lately seem to have older women pursuing teenage boys, rather than the reverse.
Why did they put her grandmothers picture in the article?
With this sort of age difference and especially with a woman so physically broken down as this it is generally the woman persuing the boy.
Does she have any teeth? Maybe that’s what convinced him.
When I grew up we had a bunch of chickens that we let run around our yard. There were more hens than there were roosters, but only a couple of the roosters got to service the hens and the rest of the roosters chased robins, crows and anything else with feathers hoping to get some. There are scores of frustrated teenage boys who are not successful with girls their own age who will chase anything with a skirt.
You are the one with weird fantasies about young desirable girls. Have you even seen what typical teenage girls look like these days??? They are mostly fat and pretty darned homely compared to 40 or so years ago when I was younger. So I wouldn't be casting dispersions you dirty old man... : )
