Former Bridgeport teacher who had sexual relationship with student sentenced to no jail time

A former Bridgeport High School teacher who admitted to having a sexual relationship with one of her students was sentenced for her crimes on Monday but did not receive jail time.

Courtney Rankin pleaded guilty back in October, admitting to having intercourse with her 17-year-old student at her apartment in White Hall when she was 33.

During her sentencing on Monday, letters from 14 character witnesses in support of Rankin were presented, and her doctor, mother and former coworker testified on her behalf. Rankin also gave a statement, saying that she accepted responsibility and was remorseful.
