41-year-old Shanna Reis
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — A Watertown teacher who was accused of having sex with a student has pleaded guilty.
41-year-old Shanna Ries was arrested earlier this year after she herself reported to authorities that she engaged in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old high school student.
Ries pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of Sexual Contact of a Child under 18 by Person of Authority.
She was originally facing three additional charges of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, but those charges were ultimately dropped after working out a plea deal.
A sentencing hearing is set for August 30th.
