FORT COLLINS — A former Brighton teacher who gained infamy for her sexual encounter with an underage male student had her probation revoked for that crime Thursday and was sentenced to 60 days in jail.
Carrie McCandless, 34, must also complete 60 days of unsupervised probation. Because Larimer County District Judge Devin Odell revoked her probation on the felony charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, McCandless will now have a felony conviction on her criminal record, said Larimer County DA spokeswoman Linda Jensen.
McCandless tested positive for morphine in her system in April on a court-ordered drug test.
McCandless was a teacher and cheerleading coach at Brighton Collegiate High School when she was accused in December 2006 of having sexual contact with a 17-year-old male student during an overnight school trip.
