Ex-teacher’s attorney gets access to records

The attorney representing a former Lawrence High School teacher who admitted earlier this month to having sex with a student was granted access to the victim’s psychological records Monday.

Meredith Kane, 24, pleaded guilty July 2 to one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. The acts occurred between August 2006 and March of this year with the male student, who was 15 at the time.

Her attorney had sought access to the records before the former teacher’s sentencing, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Oct. 12. Kane, whose contract was not renewed by the Lawrence school board in May, could face five to 20 years in prison.
