DERRY, N.H. (LALATE) – Melinda Dennehy pleaded guilty today to photos she gave to a student. Melinda Dennehy gave pictures, unclothed, of herself to a 15 year old student earlier this year. The former high school teacher entered a plea agreement today to misdemeanor charges.

Under the plea, Melinda Dennehy received a suspended jail sentence provided she remains on good behavior, has no contact with the boy, nor goes to his high school. Melinda said she will seek counseling.

Melinda Dennehy was arrested in March after the pictures were sent around the school. At the time, she was a teacher at Londonderry High School. Initial charges claimed the two had kissed in her classroom and that she had “continuously” sent the boy text messages.
