BARTOW, Fla. (AP) — A former central Florida high school teacher has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for having sex with three of her male students.

Fichter initially was arrested in April 2014 on allegations she had carried on a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy who attended the Central Florida Aerospace Academy in Lakeland, where she had taught English for three years.

Two more victims, both 17, came forward following news reports of her arrest.

Retired Miami police officer gets 25 years for child porn

MIAMI (AP) — A retired Miami police officer has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for receiving and possessing child pornography.

Senior U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King on Thursday also ordered 57-year-old Juan Roman to register as a sex offender and serve lifetime probation if he is released from prison.

Roman was charged in August 2014 after investigators with a search warrant found numerous depictions of child pornography on Roman’s laptop computer and hard drives.

According to court documents, Roman produced some of the videos himself including secretly videotaping girls in his bathroom and fondling a six-year-old girl in his kitchen.

Roman retired in 2010 after more than 30 years with the Miami Police Department, mostly on road patrol.
