HAHNVILLE, La. -- A former Louisiana high school teacher who admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old boy and another former female teacher at the same time has avoided jail time with a plea deal, WGNO reports. 

Shelley Dufresne, 32, was originally charged with carnal knowledge of a juvenile, a charge that carries a potential 10-year jail sentence and mandatory registration as a sex offender.

Dufrense and Rachel Respess, 24, allegedly had a threesome with a 16-year-old student.The alleged incident happened at Respess’ home after a football game.

The victim in the case said the sex was consensual. Authorities believe it happened at some point between Aug. 22 and Sept. 22 in 2014.

By accepting the plea deal Thursday, Dufresne was sentenced by Judge Anne Simon to three years in prison which was deferred, as a three years active probation and she must pay a $1,000 fine.

As part of her probation, Dufresne agreed to not contact the victim or his family, give up her teaching license and enter into a 90 day inpatient facility for mental health treatment.

After leaving court, Dufrense posted on Instagram a picture of her smiling with the caption "my mood today," followed by three smiling faces. It is unknown exactly what she was posting about.

The other former teacher, Rachel Respees, still faces charges in Jeferson Parish, New Orleans.

Dufresne is said to be married with three children.
