Ex-teacher arrested for contacting student

The former Lawrence High School teacher who admitted earlier this summer to having sex with a student was arrested Monday afternoon for violating a no-contact order issued by the court.

Meredith Kane, 24, was booked at the Douglas County Jail shortly before 6 p.m. Monday.

Kane pleaded guilty in July to one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. The acts occurred between August 2006 and March of this year with a student who was 15 at the time.

She was arrested in March. As part of her release from jail on $15,000 bond, Kane was required to have no contact with any witness or the victim.

Kane’s sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 12.
