A former Alabama substitute teacher has pleaded guilty to having 
sex with two of her male students and was sentenced to prison.

Whitley Mizzell, 32, entered guilty pleas on Monday to three

If Mizzell violates the conditions of her release, she could be 
sent back to prison to serve the remaining eight years of her 
sentence, reported Anniston Star.

Mizzell worked in the St. Clair County School system when she 
had sexual encounters with two male students last year

Mizzell was arrested in July 2019 while she worked as a 
substitute teacher in the St. Clair County School system.

Schools Superintendent Mike Howard said at the time that Mizzell 
was hired through a third-party agency and was not and had never 
been a direct employee of the district.

It is unclear when or where the sex acts with the students 
younger than age 19 took place, or how they came to light.

Mizzell was taken into custody by the St. Clair County Sheriff’s 
Office after entering her pleas in court on Monday.

She had faced up to 20 years in prison for the to felony counts.
