Criminal Law
[##_1L|1173564309.jpg|width="120" height="80" alt=""|_##]A former Cyprus High School teacher admitted Tuesday to having sex with one of her students. Christy Brown, 33, pleaded guilty as charged to three counts of forcible sexual abuse, all second-degree felonies. Brown faces up to 30 years in prison when she is sentenced Oct. 19 by 3rd District Judge Stephen Henriod. She had sexual relations with the boy - who was 17 and one of her English students - on at least three occasions between April 8 and July 8, according to charging documents.
Brown was arrested early on July 8 after a West Valley City police officer found her and the student parked near 2900 South and 5600 West.
Brown, who taught for two years at the school, quit her job on June 1 because she planned on moving to Houston for a new teaching job, according to school officials.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
