A 74-year-old former teacher faces 600 years in prison after she repeatedly sexually assaulted a teenage boy at a Wisconsin private school.
Anne N. Nelson-Koch was convicted on 25 counts related to the attacks that occurred in the 2016-2017 school year.
She would take the boy to the basement of the nameless school to abuse him. Nelson-Koch was 67 at the time and the boy was 14.
The former teacher was convicted by a Monroe County court after a jury deliberated for five hours.
Prosecutors asked for Nelson-Koch to be remanded in immediate custody ahead of sentencing on Oct. 27. Judge Richard Radcliffe instead granted bail with a GPS monitor ahead of the hearing.
