You'll need more proof than that, especially since it didn't come from either Ellsworth American or Fence Viewer. Moreover, I consider a closely-cropped picture showing just her face to be a "fair use" under copyrights laws. That said, I'd much rather have a mug shot. But now that you have my attention, it looks like she got a nice Friday the 13th present ... Fence Viewer: Teacher Sentenced for Having Sex with Student (July 13 2012): A former substitute teacher from Steuben will spend one year in prison for having sex with a student at the school where she taught. Dianne Leach, 47, was sentenced Friday in Washington County Superior Court to three and a half years in prison with all but 12 months suspended. Justice Allan Hunter also ordered her to serve two years probation following her release, become a lifetime registrant with the Maine Sex Offender Registry and pay up to $2,100 in restitution to the family of the victim. During her probation, Leach is to attend sex offender counseling and have no contact with the victim and his immediate family.
Dianne Leach has checked into her new room for the next year, but her official prison portrait is not yet available: Will keep checking!
