GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - A one-time Cedar Springs high school teacher will spend up to 15 years in prison for having sex with a 17-year-old student.
Jon Jungkind was found guilty in November of one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and not guilty of a second count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Jungkind was arrested in November 2011 after the sexual relationship came to light.
In January, the teen in question testified Jungkind had unprotected sex with her, got her pregnant and bought her a series of abortion pills. She said at the time they had a relationship in the summer of 2011, and that she had a "big crush" on him and "loved him."
She said the sex was consensual.
He was sentenced to between 40 months and 15 years. Neither he nor the student spoke at the proceeding.
