thank you for joining us. kyndell nunley filling in again today for krystal allan. junior high school convicted of having an inappropriate relationship with a teenager who was a student at that school was in court today and she has learned how much time she will be behind bars. >> kyndell: news 3's sergio avila is live from outside the courthouse. this relationship began back in june of 2015? >> reporter: that is correct. we first brought you the news on my twitter feed that nicole wilfinger will spend six-and-a-half years, a minimum, in prison after being convicted of two counts. she was originally charged with nine separate counts for having this inappropriate relationship with a student at molasky junior high school but it was negotiated down. she pleaded guilty to two counts. again, like i said, will spend a minimum of two-and-a-half years in prison. very emotional for her as she pleaded for leniency.
