Christine Marie Johanson, 35, who used to work at Hudson Park Elementary School, allegedly had a sexual relationship with a freshman at Rainier Junior/Senior High School. The indictment also alleges that Johanson forced the boy to have sex with her.

She pleaded innocent in November to 10 counts of third-degree rape, two counts of third-degree sodomy, 12 counts of second-degree sexual abuse and two counts of furnishing liquor to a minor, according to The Longview Daily News.

At Wednesday's appearance, a settlement conference was scheduled for Feburary 1st, according to the DIstrict Attorney's office. The DA says the current offer includes prison time and Johanson wanted to discuss a settlement but was seeking to avoid jail time.

The school district said Johanson was fired last September and ordered to stay away from the boy and the school.

The case echoes that of an infamous former Pacific Northwest teacher and her student.

Mary Kay Fualaau, then Mary Kay Letourneau, was convicted of child rape for having sex with her student in 1996. He was 13 at the time and later fathered two of her children. She served more than seven years in prison and was released in 2004. The two recently got married.
