CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) —  A former Hamilton County teacher pleaded guilty today to statutory rape.

Casey McGrath was arrested more than a year ago on charges of inappropriate behavior with a student at her high school.

Under the terms of the plea agreement, she faces four years of probation and will be placed on the sex offender registry.

She was granted diversion.

So, if after four years, she has no further complaints, her record will be expunged.
