Karen L. Brooks, 38 at the time of her arrest in June, faces zero to 30 years in prison when sentenced in Kent County Superior Court on Feb. 14, 2018. Judge Noel Primos accepted the plea made at the Kent County Courthouse.
Smyrna Police said that Mrs. Brooks was assigned to Smyrna Middle School when detectives were notified of a possible inappropriate sexual relationship in early May. She was taken into custody without incident on June 1 and charged with fourth-degree rape/sexual intercourse with a victim under 18.
Police said they did not believe any of the supposed acts happened on school district property.
In court documents, a detective said Mrs. Brooks met the youth when he managed the Smyrna Middle School track team that she coached. She was an Educational Diagnostician, working in the Special Services department at Smyrna Middle School.
Mrs. Brooks was placed on paid leave on May 15. The status changed to unpaid administrative leave when she was arrested, officials said. She resigned from her school district position on June 6.
