Former East Texas teacher sentenced to 2 years for child sex crimes

In August 2024, she pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual assault of a child and three counts of online solicitation of a minor.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas — A former East Texas teacher received two years in prison and will have to register as a sex offender after pleading guilty to multiple crimes against children.

Annaleigh Andrews, a former teacher at Nacogdoches ISD’s McMichael Middle School, was sentenced on Tuesday to two years and issued a $5,000 fine. She is also required to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life, according to the Nacogdoches County District Clerk’s Office.

In August 2024, she pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual assault of a child and three counts of online solicitation of a minor. The Nacogdoches County District Attorney’s Office decided to not pursue the three counts of trafficking of a child against her as part of the plea. 

She was arrested in July 2023. NISD said in a statement that she resigned from the school before the accusations against her came to light. 

She was to turn herself in by May 9.
