   A married substitute teacher in Michigan convicted of sexually   
   assaulting a 15-year-old boy was scolded by a judge and a   
   prosecutor during her sentencing Wednesday after admitting that   
   she “tried to find comfort wherever” she could with the illicit   
   affair.   
      
   Allyson Brittany Moran, 27, was sentenced to 25 months to 15   
   years in prison for third-degree criminal sexual conduct, but   
   not before a prosecutor and judge blasted her for blaming the   
   victim by claiming he initiated the sexual assaults, the Lansing   
   State Journal reports.   
      
   “She used her position to gain his trust … and she took that and   
   manipulated it into something for personal gratification,”   
   Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Steve Kwasnik said. “She lured   
   him into an adulterous affair.”   
      
   Moran, a long-term substitute chemistry teacher and a girls’   
   soccer coach at Stockbridge High School, was arrested in   
   September 2017, months after the 15-year-old boy told his   
   girlfriend about the sexual assaults. A relative of his later   
   called police, he testified.   
      
   But Moran’s attorney, Sean Carroll, insisted the incidents were   
   the culmination of a “perfect storm” of events for his client,   
   including a miscarriage, a new job within the school district   
   and ongoing acrimony with her husband. Moran has since been   
   punished enough by losing her career and having to register as a   
   sex offender, according to Carroll, who asked the judge to   
   sentence her to probation.   
      
   “She’s faced alienation, stigma and shame,” Carroll said. “She’s   
   grown from the situation.”   
      
   Moran, for her part, apologized to the teen’s parents and cited   
   her miscarriage as part of the reason why she “slipped away,”   
   according to the newspaper.   
      
   “I tried to find comfort wherever I could,” Moran said. “At 27,   
   I will have a lifetime of consequences that will surpass any   
   prison time.”   
      
   That apparently struck a chord with Ingham County Circuit Court   
   Judge Joyce Draganchuk, who admonished Moran for preying on a   
   “vulnerable” victim.   
      
   “I wish so much that you had talked more about the lifetime of   
   consequences [he] has,” Draganchuk said. “He’s criticized and   
   judged and he didn’t do anything wrong.”   
      
   The assaults have left the teen — once an outgoing, popular and   
   jovial kid — unrecognizable compared to his former self, his   
   mother told the judge.   
      
   “She took things from him he’ll never get back,” she said. “Tell   
   me how it’s a child’s fault that his teacher preyed upon him.”   
      
   The boy’s mother testified that her son also still carries the   
   guilt of Moran’s attempted suicide following her arrest. He’s   
   also teased at school, which he now dreads, and he hopes to   
   graduate early to avoid the comments, she said.   
      
   Court documents indicate that Moran invited the teen to her home   
   in Dansville in April 2017 after telling him her husband was out   
   of town. She opened the door while wearing only a bra, underwear   
   and an open robe.   
      
   She then took the teen into a spare bedroom, where she sexually   
   assaulted him. She invited the boy back to her house days later   
   and sexually assaulted him a second time, according to court   
   documents.   
      
   In March 2017, Moran and the teen then started communicating on   
   Snapchat, where the teen said she sent him nude photos of   
   herself. Moran also chatted with other male students on the app,   
   court records show.   
      
   “He’s missing out on his teenage years because of what she did,”   
   the boy’s mother told Draganchuk.
