Robin Lynn Winkis is a 30 year old former English teacher from York, Pennsylvania (Central York High School). She’s been convicted of sleeping with two of her students:
Winkis, who taught and coached at Central York High School for five years, apologized to the victims, their parents, fellow teachers and the community before she was sentenced Monday.
“What I did was wrong. I am sorry. I used poor judgment. I made horrible decisions,” she said.
York County Judge Stephen Linebaugh denied her request for probation, saying she “crossed a border that one may not cross.”
Winkis also was ordered to continue with counseling, perform 100 hours of community service, have no contact with the victims or victims’ families, and register as a sexual offender under Megan’s Law.
Defense attorney Terrance McGowan said his client has suffered from depression and had a physically abusive relationship with a former boyfriend. The friendships with students turned sexual because Winkis was alone and naive, he said.
