Substitute Teacher Sentenced for Inappropriate Messages | Milwaukee News

A former substitute teacher, Alexander Poyner, 34, has been sentenced to two years in prison and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The case erupted when a 15-year-old student reported inappropriate, sexually suggestive messages sent by Poyner via Instagram — messages that led to investigations, his resignation from multiple school districts, and automatic revocation of his teaching license.

Now, he must register as a sex offender for 15 years — a stark reminder of the consequences when educators cross the line with students.
