Teacher Pleads Guilty to Sex With Student
A former Redlands East Valley High School teacher pleaded guilty to having oral sex with a 17-year-old student.
Shawna Castellanos, 28, also pleaded guilty Monday to three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in a deal with prosecutors calling for up to three years in prison. She will be sentenced Oct. 2.
Castellanos was charged in connection with a series of contacts with students at her home and a Newport Beach hotel. The English teacher resigned a week after she was arrested in late April.
