A judge this afternoon revoked bond for a former Lawrence High School teacher, who has admitted to having sex with a student.

Douglas County District Judge Stephen Six ruled that Meredith Kane, 24, must remain in jail until her sentencing Oct. 29.

She was arrested and booked into jail Tuesday and now faces an additional misdemeanor charge of violating a protective order. Based on a condition of her $15,000 bond, she was ordered not have contact with the victim or witnesses in the case.

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

According to a motion Assistant District Attorney Angela Wilson filed, family friends of the now-16-year-old victim reported to police on Sunday they saw the boy getting out of a car driven by Kane. The boy told a police detective he had been with Kane five times since her guilty plea, according to the motion.

During this afternoon’s hearing, Kane’s attorney James Rumsey introduced a letter that he said the victim had written to Kane.

“It doesn’t suggest that there wasn’t contact, but I want to make it very clear that the initiation was on his part, not my client’s,” Rumsey said.

But Six said the affidavit filed by prosecutors documented Kane initiated multiple instances of telephone and in-person contact and that it was Kane’s responsibility as the adult to honor her bond agreement and a court order.

Kane entered the court room in custody wearing a green jail jumpsuit. Rumsey entered a not guilty plea on the misdemeanor charge, and Six set that trial for Oct. 2.

Kane already faces between five and 20 years in prison for the aggravated indecent liberties conviction. Rumsey has planned to ask for a lesser sentence.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said the misdemeanor conviction for violating a protective order carries a sentence up to one year in jail. He said the recent arrest probably won’t greatly affect the sentencing on the felony conviction because prosecutors have sought a prison term since the early days of the case.

“With the bond being revoked, we’re asking that start much sooner,” Branson said.

After suspending Kane after the arrest, the Lawrence school board voted not to renew the first-year English teacher’s contract in May.
