A former teacher at a Christian school in Georgia has been sentenced to 40 years in prison after being convicted of sexually assaulting a male student.
Authorities confirmed that Bonnie Brown, 27, was found guilty on five counts of improper sexual contact by an educator in the first degree following approximately three hours of jury deliberation on June 11.
In her statement, Brown said: “My school did not protect me as a child.”
Judge Stephen A. Bradley sentenced Brown to 40 years, with the first 15 years to be served in prison. Brown was also ordered to register as a sex offender upon release. The judge emphasized that individuals placed in positions of responsibility must act in ways that benefit children under their care.
Officers with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested Brown in March 2025 after the Greene County Sheriff’s Office suspected sexual contact between a student and a former Nathanael Greene Academy teacher in Siloam, Georgia.
