UPDATE:Spring Branch ISD teacher Kathryn Murray gets her sentenced doubled for having sex with 15 yr old student

I think she’s still getting off extremely light, pardon the pun

CHRON reports Kathryn Murray smiles as she leaves the courtroom after being sentenced by visiting state District Judge Frank Price on two charges of sexual assault of a child on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014, in Houston. The former Spring Branch ISD teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student will spend a year in jail and a second year on probation after agreeing to a plea bargain Tuesday.

Update: Former teacher Kathryn Murray, who had sex with one of her students, will be spending more time behind bars, reports on Friday say.

Her original sentence of one year in jail did not meet sentencing guidelines, KTRK reports, and Murray's punishment was doubled.  KHOU says she will serve two years in jail, with no probation, and still has to register as a sex offender.

Their relationship began innocently enough: A 15-year-old Memorial Middle School student from Costa Rica was trying to learn English with help from a teacher.

His tutor, in her third year at Spring Branch ISD, started keeping him after school and passing him notes that contained promises of a happy life together.

The goings-on came to an abrupt end when the teen's younger brother caught the pair in bed. The younger boy told his parents, who had been away from the house at the time, about what he'd seen and about finding a condom and a tan bra.

On Tuesday, the teen's parents said their son had been victimized first by 30-year-old Kathryn Camille Murray and then by the system.

The former teacher was sentenced to a year in jail and a year of probation, which was too lenient, the boy's family said.

"If this had been a 27-year-old man and a 15- year-old girl, the judgment in there would have been completely different," the teen's father said outside of a Harris County courtroom. "It goes to show you the double standard

Female teachers get lessor sentences than male teachers and that's an issue.  But, the bigger problem is we have an nation-wide epidemic of teachers having sex with students and it doesn't get a national debate.
