A former Cyprus High School teacher admitted Tuesday to having sex with one of her students. Christy Brown, 33, pleaded guilty as charged to three counts of forcible sexual abuse, all second-degree felonies. Brown faces up to 30 years in prison when she is sentenced Oct. 19 by 3rd District Judge Stephen Henriod. She had sexual relations with the boy - who was 17 and one of her English students - on at least three occasions between April 8 and July 8, according to charging documents.
Brown was arrested early on July 8 after a West Valley City police officer found her and the student parked near 2900 South and 5600 West.
Brown, who taught for two years at the school, quit her job on June 1 because she planned on moving to Houston for a new teaching job, according to school officials. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
