FRANKLIN — Madalyn Arnett, the Former Franklin High social studies teacher convicted in a sex case involving a male student, is out of prison three years early.
Warren County Common Pleas Judge Timothy Tepe, who sentenced Arnett in May 2019 to four years in prison, granted her release May 4, the Hamilton Journal-News reported Thursday.
Arnett, 27, of Dayton, pleaded guilty in March 2019 to sexual battery. She was accused of engaging in an inappropriate sexual relationship.
In December, defense attorneys John and Jon Paul Rion filed a motion for judicial release arguing Arnett was remorseful and had achieved high marks in prison working as a food service worker and program aid.
As part of the release, Tepe ordered Arnett be placed on electronic monitoring until further order from probation, complete sexual offender treatment, undergo a mental health assessment and follow recommendations that she have no contact with minor children except immediate family members.
