Posted: November 23, 2011

ALLENTOWN - A former high school teacher could face jail time after admitting she had sex with a student on the school's prom weekend.

Gabrielle Marvelli, 39, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Lehigh County Court to a charge of corruption of a minor. The former Allen High School teacher admitted having sex with the student, who was a week away from his 18th birthday at the time.

Marvelli and the student had an early-morning encounter May 28, the day of the school's senior prom, authorities said.

The Allentown School District said Marvelli no longer taught there. Marvelli and her attorney declined to comment after the hearing. Sentencing was scheduled for Dec. 20. - AP
