BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A former Social Studies teacher at Marshall High School is heading to prison for having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student.
33-year-old Jason Bushong was given 7 to 30 years after he pleaded no contest to first-degree criminal sexual conduct in October.
There had apparently been rumors about the two, until the mother of the teenager caught the two of them together in his car last March and called police.
Prosecutors accused Bushong of grooming the young victim and the teen said at his sentencing that she was glad Bushong was going away to prison so he couldn’t prey on other young girls.
