Colorado High School Drama Teacher Andrea McLean Accepts Plea Deal in Child Sexual Abuse Case




Englewood, Colorado

Back in January of last year, we brought you the story of an Englewood High School Drama teacher accused of sexually assaulting a student.

Andrea Elizabeth McLean, 28, was originally charged with two Class 3 felony counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of authority.

McLean has had her day in court and has accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to reduced charges and will not be facing jail.

The reduced charges are misdemeanor sexual assault and misdemeanor official misconduct.

18th Judicial District Judge Marilyn Antrim sentenced McLean to two years deferred judgment on the sexual assault charge, in anticipation of dismissal, and two years of probation for official misconduct.

Presumably, the no-jail sentence resulted because "McLean had been extremely truthful and remorseful" and an evaluation determined that no psychosexual treatment was necessary.

McLean, however, was ordered to register as a sex offender.
