Nation IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Teacher Avoids Jail; Ran Off With Student

Share
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A teacher who ran off with a 15-year-old student for two months agreed to a plea bargain, which means he will get no jail time and she does not have to hear her personal life aired in court. The court also is lifting its order that 33-year-old Harlem, N.Y., teacher Glenn Harris stay away from the girl with whom he motel-hopped through seven states, said Assistant Dist. Atty. Lisa Friel. Harris originally was charged with kidnaping but pleaded guilty to custodial interference, a felony. Friel said that in return Harris received a conditional discharge, meaning he will not be jailed if he does not commit a crime for the next three years.
