32 year old teacher at Manhatten High School in Manhatten Kansas, Katherine Harder, was arrested and charged with unlawful sexual relations after a patrolling sheriff’s deputy caught her having sex with a student.

Harder was having sex in her car in a park, with her 17 year old student. What a great idea that is. And what a great name this is for an article like this. The jokes just write themselves.

Harder was taken to the Pottawatomie county jail, bond amount is not known.

Katherine Harder has taken a plea deal and been sentenced. Harder plead no contest to a more serious charge of aggravating of a child, which does not require sex offender registration. Harder was sentenced to one year of probation, and a suspended 6 month jail sentence. Good deal for her I guess. Hooray for leniency.
